At E-Cycle Solutions, our mission is to transform electronic waste into valuable resources while ensuring environmental responsibility. Our comprehensive recycling process is designed to separate and recover various materials from electronic equipment, ensuring that each commodity can be reused in creating next-generation products. Here’s an overview of our meticulous recycling process:
Upon receiving electronics from businesses, we initiate a sorting and processing phase tailored to client specifications. This phase is crucial for generating accurate and detailed client reports.
Reporting by Weight: For clients requiring weight-based reporting, we weigh the shipments upon receipt and manually remove hazardous items such as batteries. Equipment may also be sorted by type or material to facilitate detailed weight-based reporting.
Reporting by Item: When clients need item-specific reporting, each item is scanned and audited in addition to weighing. We ensure that data-bearing items are thoroughly destroyed before recycling.
The next phase involves the careful removal of hazardous materials. This step is critical for ensuring that all hazardous components—such as batteries, toner cartridges, mercury bulbs, and lead-containing cathode ray tubes—are properly handled and disposed of in compliance with environmental regulations. This manual process is vital for maintaining an environmentally sound recycling operation.
Our advanced recycling sites are equipped with industrial shredders and conveyor systems. After hazard removal, the equipment is fed into a shredder that breaks the material into pieces ranging from 2 to 6 inches in diameter. This initial shredding prepares the waste for further separation by breaking it down into manageable sizes.
In this phase, we also offer additional services including hard drive destruction, parts recovery, asset repair, resale, and the safe disposal of hazardous waste.

Following shredding, the fragmented materials are passed through a series of advanced sorting technologies:
After bulk metals are extracted, the remaining e-waste, predominantly plastic, is sorted into types such as ABS and polystyrene. An advanced metal removal process ensures that any residual metals are removed to enhance the purity of the plastic stream.
The sorted commodities are then collected into pallet sacks or large cardboard boxes. These materials are shipped either to other processors or directly to manufacturers. The use of recycled materials in new products not only conserves resources but also reduces pollution, carbon emissions, and energy and water consumption. This helps to minimize the environmental impact and keeps valuable materials out of landfills.
E-Cycle Solutions is recognized for producing high-quality recyclables, and our facilities are sought after by manufacturers and secondary processors for their superior recycled commodities. By adhering to these rigorous processes, we ensure that our clients’ e-waste is recycled efficiently, contributing to a more sustainable future.
