Why Take 2

Experience

Take 2's leadership is comprised of electronics recycling pioneers. Yes, I said pioneers! This is a young and still emerging industry. Ten years in this business is like being the old wise man of the village. We’ve been doing what we do for over 10 years and have established ourselves as environmental stewards who have forged a path for standards development within the electronics recycling and asset management industry. We are experienced serving private enterprise, government, educational, legislative, and original equipment manufacturers.

Value

There’s real value in extending the life of your IT equipment that goes beyond the share of revenue from the sale of those assets. We are a culture that loves to buy new stuff and we like to have the latest and greatest new gadgets and gizmos. Extending the life of your gently used equipment through reuse can offset some or all of the costs associated with data destruction and recycling of end of life equipment. Many businesses have complete reuse, recycling, and data security programs that are cost neutral. That’s real value - a win for your company and a win for the planet.

The Environment

If you’re going to pursue reuse and recycling of your IT equipment instead of throwing it all in the trash, then you should make sure that the result is better for the environment than simply tossing that stuff in the trash. What do I mean by that? Not all recycling and reuse partners are created equal. It’s important to know that we only sell equipment and parts that are fully tested and functioning and that we only use domestic processors for potentially hazardous components of electronics. We maintain a no export and no landfill policy and we adhere to the strictest standards for security and environmental, health, and safety in the industry.

Permanent Drop-Off Locations

These collection locations are only open to residents within the municipality or participating regional group of municipalities and are typically located at the town/city transfer station or recycling center. Containers or sheds are permanently staged at transfer stations or recycling centers for the purpose of storing covered electronic devices and other household electronics. Take 2 picks up stored electronics from these collection locations at a pick up frequency determined by the municipal recycling coordinator. Residents are able to drop off electronics during the normal business hours of the transfer station/recycling center. Although there is no charge to recycle electronics under the Statewide Program, residents may be required to purchase a trip ticket or pass from their town in order to use these facilities. Residents can call their local recycling coordinators or visit their website to learn more about access to their municipal transfer station.

Hard Drive Shredding Events

These events can coincide with other events or be a stand alone event. Residents and small businesses can bring their loose hard drives and witness them being physically shredded.These events are typically set up through local businesses at their place of business and can be open to the public.
