The environmental hazards associated with obsolete consumer electronics are becoming increasingly well publicized and environmentally responsible consumers and companies are rapidly implementing programs to recycle them. United Datatech and our sister company, ECS Refining, have been recovering value from obsolete electronics for many years.

UDT samples, values and consolidates both end-of-life and manufacturing scrap electronics for their metal value. UDT also provides assured, certified destruction services for product manufacturers, to prevent obsolete or off-specification products from finding there way into the open marketplace. Companies with proprietary hardware and software as well as companies with sensitive information stored on their hard drives praise UDT's assured destruction capabilities. UDT works with its sister company, ECS Refining, to provide destruction through shredding, ball-mill grinding and incineration.

Witness destruction is available to all customers upon request. A Certificate of Destruction is issued with every secure destruction lot we process. Ask one of our Procurement Specialists for more information!

Our Process

Recycling your obsolete and end-of-life electronics is the right thing to do. It often makes economic sense as well. The printed circuit boards in many personal computers have some precious metal components, which can result in a net positive value to you, if you recycle them. Entrusting your obsolete electronics to United Datatech will ensure that they are managed as you direct, either remarketed or destroyed and recycled.

United Datatech processes scrap electronics by shredding them and separating the components, ferrous metals (steel), copper and precious metals, aluminum, and plastic. The steel and aluminum are recycled as the metals, the plastic is recycled as plastic, and the copper and precious metals are sampled, prepared, and packaged for shipment to a primary metals smelter.
