How the E-Waste Recycling Services Process Works
Collection & Drop-Off
The process starts with either scheduled pickups or customer drop-offs at our secure recycling sites in Van Nuys, Canoga Park, and nearby service areas. Whether you’re a business or an individual, DRM makes it easy to hand over your old or unused electronic devices safely.
Disassembly
Devices are carefully taken apart to separate materials like metal, plastic, glass, and circuit boards. Hazardous parts (such as batteries or mercury-containing components) are isolated and managed according to environmental regulations.
Sorting & Inventory Logging
Once collected, all electronic items are sorted by type—computers, phones, printers, TVs, etc. We log and track every item to ensure proper handling and offer detailed inventory records for businesses needing documentation.
Material Recovery
Recovered materials—like copper, aluminum, gold, and plastic—are sent to specialized facilities for refining and reuse. This step helps reduce the demand for mining raw resources and supports a circular economy.
Data Destruction
Before anything is recycled, we make sure all data is permanently destroyed. Hard drives, SSDs, and storage devices are either wiped, degaussed, or physically shredded to meet strict data security and privacy standards.
Responsible Disposal of Waste
Any non-recyclable or hazardous components are disposed of responsibly at certified waste treatment centers. We follow all local and federal environmental compliance standards to prevent pollution or unsafe handling.
