Unwanted computers and similar equipment are rapidly clogging our landfills and pose an environmental hazard.According to an EPA report in 2009, Americans generated 3 million metric tonnes of unwanted electronics, only 17.7% of that was recycled. The rest was incinerated or put in landfills.Other EPA e-waste statistics estimate that 68% of people are storing their ewaste in their homes.Bluegrass E-Cycle provides computer and electronics recycling in Louisville KY, Cincinnati OH, Charleston WV, and surrounding states.

Our Services

All of our services are provided at no cost to you or your company. We provide pick up and drop off, asset tag removal on all equipment, onsite physical hard drive destruction, as well as degaussing. Bluegrass E-Cycle provides electronics recycling in Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, Ohio, Tennesse, and the entire region.Our goal at Bluegrass E-Cycle is to provide quality e-waste and computer recycling services to Louisville Kentucky and surrounding areas, in an effort to reduce the amount of hazardous waste that is generated from electronics in our landfills. Every effort is made to use the electronics we collect. We believe in the philosophy of “Repair, Reuse, and then Recycle.”

Security

In addition to computer recycling, we are pleased to offer complete onsite physical hard drive destruction, as well as hard drive degaussing at no cost. Our state of the art degausser will destroy any hard drive or other magnetic media such as tapes within 1 minute. After degaussing, hard drives will no longer function and data recovery is impossible.As for the physical destruction, our photo example should leave no doubt that your private information will remain secure. Remember, the physical destruction is in addition to the degauss operation. We are confident in our method of destruction, and you will be too. The catastrophic damage to the hard drive is irrefutable, and much more reliable than simply “hitting it with a hammer.” We encourage you to see it in action for yourself. The obliteration of the drive is quick and quiet enough to perform in any office environment.Furthermore, the physical destruction shown in the photos below is only one step in protecting your data. Once hard drives have been destroyed, the circuit boards are removed and the remains of the hard drive are then sent to a smelter where they are melted down for metal recovery. This method ensures that your drives are not simply erased, then reused and resold. We never resell hard drives prior to complete destruction.
