What our Model
Means for You
Accessible Recycling removes the barriers that often keep electronics sitting unused or improperly disposed of. By combining secure handling, transparent reporting, and responsible downstream recycling, organizations gain a safer and more accountable solution.
Lower Risk
Secure chain-of-custody handling and a purpose-built ITAD facility protect your organization from data exposure and improper device handling. Keeping your assets more secure at end of life than they were in use.
Lower Cost
Free drop-off and business pickups remove the fees and logistical barriers that often keep electronics sitting in storage. Premium services are priced well below national rates and always disclosed up front.
Clear Records
Every job includes full documentation from full chain-of-custody pickup through completion. Including Transfer of Custody, Serialized Data Destruction and Recycling Certificates, plus a TechBack GiveBack impact report for your records.
Real Impact
A purpose-driven approach that prioritizes exacting end-of-life handling for every material, working exclusively with certified R2 downstream partners. All fueling our TechBack GiveBack tree-planting program.
When standards rise,
so do forests.
Not All
Recycling
is Equal
While recycling is always better than disposal, not all electronics recycling programs operate the same way. The standards behind how devices are handled can dramatically affect data security, environmental safety, and accountability. Understanding those differences helps protect your organization and the planet.
TechBack: Free & Accessible Recycling
Free drop-off and business pickups remove the cost and friction that often keep electronics sitting in storage or headed for disposal.
Others: Fees and Barriers
High minimums, pickup fees, and complicated logistics often push old equipment toward closets, dumpsters, or risky disposal.
TechBack: Purpose-Built Secure Facility
Data-bearing devices are immediately secured inside our controlled-access ITAD facility, where they remain in a monitored environment until destruction is complete.
Others: General Warehouse Handling
Data destruction often happens in general warehouses or rushed on-site environments without dedicated security controls.
TechBack: Every Device Documented
Chain-of-custody protocols, serialized destruction reports, and GiveBack reporting provide clear records of how your devices were handled.
Others: No Transparency
Devices often disappear into opaque recycling streams with little reporting, documentation, or accountability.
TechBack: R2 Certified Recycling Partners
Certified R2 partners ensure materials are responsibly processed and kept out of landfills and unsafe export streams.
Others: Landfill or Overseas Export
Electronics may be dumped or shipped overseas where unsafe processing releases toxins into soil, air, and water.
TechBack: Local & Accountable
As a Syracuse-based recycler, we support the local economy and remain directly accountable to the organizations and community we serve.
Others: National and Detached
With national chains and brokers, your equipment becomes just another account moving through a distant system.
