IDENTIFY
YOU POINT, WE PICK UP
UPCYCLE drivers are experts at centralizing and categorizing your electronic inventory. Before removal, we create an inventory document so you are 100% aware of what is being collected. Our goal is to provide complete transparency, while making this labor intensive process effortless. We accept anything with a plug in any condition and are well versed at blending into a corporate or academic setting.

WE DO ALL THE HEAVY LIFTING
Our in-house logistics team and drivers are trained, vetted, and certified by UPCYCLE. Our e waste recycling team will safely pack and load all of your on-site assets from your location. After your equipment is loaded into an UPCYCLE truck, we will safely transport your equipment, FREE of CHARGE, to one of our facilities certified for inspection and processing.

PROTECT
SAFE & SECURE DATA DESTRUCTION
From the time we arrive on-site for pickup, only full vetted, certified, and trained UPCYCLE employees handle your hardware. This strict chain of custody provides total security, transparency, and peace of mind. Once your equipment is delivered to one of our secure facilities by an UPCYCLE driver, our certified technicians will clean any and all equipment with sensitive data. Each hard drive is cleaned with our DOD 26 wipe system. If shredding is preferred, we shred and destroy all hard drives and then generate a certification of destruction within 24 hours!

REPORT
REPORTING OF ALL ITS ASSETS
Every UPCYCLE pickup includes a Bill of Lading (BOL) that is created on-site and delivered by your driver at the time of pickup. This includes a general inventory report with a piece count of every item that is leaving your facility and unique ID number specific to your pickup. If a more detailed report is needed, you can work with your UPCYCLE electronic waste management specialist to determine what is needed, and we will provide a custom reporting solution that addresses your specific requirements.
