Businesses & Organizations

Spectrum Ecycle focuses on serving small to medium businesses, non-profits, schools, and organizations in the St. Louis metropolitan and surrounding communities.We understand how demanding it is to effectively manage the entire life cycle of your technology.

Our goal is to partner with you to streamline and simplify the tasks necessary to securely and responsibly retire your obsolete equipment so you can maximize your ability to serve your organization’s core business.

We provide solutions that fit your unique needs and budget. Here are a few of our standard services:

• Convenient pick up or drop off – We schedule pick ups at your location that fit your schedule or you may drop off at our facility near Page and Lindbergh. (call ahead for drop off)
• Data Destruction – We securely sanitize every hard disk we receive. Hardware and software tools guarantee accurate and permanent data destruction.
• Documentation – After each pick up or facility drop off, we provide you with a report; including total weight, description, and quantities. Certificates of data destruction are available upon request.

Recycling vs Disposal

• Of the 2.25 million tons of TVs, cell phones and computer products ready for end-of-life (EOL) management, 18% was collected for recycling and 82% was disposed of, primarily in landfills.
• From 1999 through 2005, recycling rate was relatively constant at about 15%. During these years, the amount of electronics recycled increased but the percentage did not because the amount of electronics sent for end of life management increased each year as well.
• For 2006-2007, the recycling rate increased to 18%, possibly because several states have started mandatory collection and recycling programs for electronics.
  68% of consumers stockpile used or unwanted computers in their homes.
• As of January, 2012 Illinois law bans most electronic devices from the landfills.
