Commonwealth Computer Recycling LLC
Roseytown Road, Unit 8 , Greensburg, Pennsylvania, United States

Commonwealth Computer Recycling offers consumers and businesses a way to get rid of PCs and other electronics that are just taking up space. However, many organizations in the computer refurbishing business have a very restrictive list of items they will accept. We know you don’t have the time to dispose of unwanted computer equipment piece by piece. That’s why we offer recycling for a very broad range of items – including old equipment no one else wants to deal with. Even better, our Level 1 data wiping service is included at no cost for all computers. All recycling is done here in the U.S. in compliance with state and federal laws.
