• Develop and use a management system that covers environmental, worker safety, and public health practices on-site and downstream management of end-of-life (EOL) equipment and materials.
• Establish a policy that promotes reuse and materials recovery for end of life equipment and materials.
• Comply with environmental, health, and safety legal requirements, both domestically and internationally, that are applicable to the recyclers' operations.
• Use practices to reduce exposures and emissions during recycling operations.
• Export focus materials only to foreign countries that legally accept them.
• Focus materials are: cathode ray tubes (CRTs) and CRT glass; circuit boards, batteries and items containing mercury and/or polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), both in end of life equipment and when separated as components.
• Send end of life equipment and all material derived from this equipment, that contain focus materials only to facilities that are properly licensed to receive these materials, and use technology designed to safely and effectively manage these materials - whether in the U.S. or another country.
• Ensure that an electronics recycler does not use energy recovery, incineration, or land disposal as a management strategy for focus materials or equipment and components containing focus materials. However, if circumstances beyond the control of the R2 recycler disrupt its normal management of a focus material, it may consider these technologies to the extent allowed under applicable law.
• Exercise due diligence in ensuring that downstream recyclers and processors manage recycled materials appropriately, throughout the downstream recycling chain.
• Ensure that materials going for reuse are refurbished and tested for functionality. Also that residual focus materials are managed responsibly.
• Ensure that personal data on end of life electronics going to reuse or recycling are cleared or destroyed.

Mission

Magnolia Data Solutions mission is to ensure that 100% of all electronic waste is responsibly recycled and kept out of our landfills while at the same time guaranteeing to our clients their data is secure and equipment is not illegally exported. Information containing devices removed from all equipment is either destroyed through our DOD wiping process or by being shredded based on our clients requirements.

We can achieve this mission by partnering with clients who responsibly recycle their end-of-life electronics and promoting public awareness. Organizations that properly recycle electronics meet their regulatory requirements, are helping the environment and enhance their company image. Meeting this challenge is a positive accomplishment for businesses, consumers and our planet. Contact Magnolia Data Solutions today and let us help you become part of the solution.

Why Recycle Electronics

Electronics are the fastest growing waste stream that is produced annually around the world with only around 25% being recycled. Over 75 percent of this e-waste turns into a toxic waste stream that ends up in our landfills or sent to undeveloped countries where it is poorly processed or dumped posing long-term risks to human health and the environment. Almost all electronic equipment especially computers and televisions, contain toxic heavy materials such as lead, cadmium, and mercury.By choosing a certified electronic recycler you can be assured these toxic materials never reach our landfills, incinerators or dumped overseas. Recycling electronic waste can also recover valuable resources that can be reused which conserves natural resources by reducing production. The electronic and computer equipment we collect will be taken apart and separated into materials such as glass, plastic, metal, and toxic materials. Magnolia Data Solutions currently has the ability to recycle 100% of all of the electronic materials that come through our facility.

Hard Drive Shredding

Electronics are the fastest growing waste stream in the world. All electronic equipment, especially computers, contain toxic materials such as lead, cadmium, and mercury. Reusing and recycling electronics keeps these toxic materials out of our landfills and incinerators. Recycling electronic waste can also recover valuable resources that can be reused.

The electronic equipment this program collects will be taken apart and separated into materials such as glass, plastic, metal, and toxic materials. All recycling at MDS will follow performance standards set up by the EPA.

Asset Recovery

Does your company have new surplus, excess equipment, or used equipment still used in today's marketplace which may still hold value?More often than not, the majority of equipment that we receive has little or no value as the price of new technology continues to decrease at faster rates. This leaves most equipment without any secondary market. There are, however, some types of equipment which retain a residual value for longer in the market place. These are usually going to be your higher priced or hard to find industrial-type items.If you have equipment meeting this criteria, Magnolia Data Solutions will make a fair offer based on the asset's current market value and salability.We base our offer on a straight buyout and not a consignment model which saves you time, money, and space from storing your assets.
