Connecticut Electronics Recycling for K–12 and Higher Education

Educational institutions across Connecticut trust EWASTE+ for certified electronics recycling and secure IT asset disposition (ITAD). From K–12 school districts to large universities, we help academic institutions manage outdated devices with a focus on data security, environmental responsibility, and regulatory compliance.

In K–12 schools and higher education institutions, technology powers everything from instruction and testing to administration and accessibility. But when devices reach the end of their lifecycle, managing electronic waste becomes critical to ensure data privacy, environmental responsibility, and regulatory compliance.

Why Connecticut Schools Choose EWASTE+

With over 30 years of experience supporting education clients, EWASTE+ understands the unique challenges schools face when retiring IT equipment. Whether you’re upgrading devices across a district or cleaning out legacy systems at a university campus, we provide safe, certified, and fully auditable solutions.

Our services include:

  • R2v3 and RIOS-certified electronics recycling
  • NAID AAA-certified data destruction (on-site or off-site)
  • Custom reporting: serialization, asset tag capture, make/model logging
  • White-glove pickups with our company-owned fleet
  • Packaging assistance (pallets, shrink wrap, bins, locking totes)
  • Revenue sharing for resalable equipment

What Our Certifications Mean

R2v3 Certified: Electronics are recycled responsibly with data security, environmental compliance, and reuse prioritized.

RIOS Certified: Ensures our operations meet strict quality, health & safety, and environmental standards.

NAID AAA Certified: Verifies our data destruction practices—including background checks, chain-of-custody documentation, and ongoing audits.

Secure IT Asset Disposition for Educational Institutions

Devices like laptops, tablets, desktops, and servers often contain sensitive student or staff data. Improper disposal can put your institution at risk for data breaches and compliance violations. EWASTE+ provides secure ITAD services that align with FERPA, HIPAA, and other privacy standards.

We also provide:

  • Physical destruction or certified sanitization of hard drives
  • Secure pickup using locking data totes
  • Detailed chain-of-custody and compliance documentation
  • Flexible pickup scheduling to match school calendars
  • Value recovery from reusable devices

Downstream Data Coverage = Total Risk Protection

EWASTE+ offers Downstream Data Coverage—an exclusive insurance-backed policy that extends liability protection even after devices leave your campus. It’s a level of coverage only available through NAID-certified providers, giving you an extra layer of defense in the unlikely event of a data breach.
