Responsible K–12 and Higher Education Electronic Recycling
Schools and universities across New York and the Northeast trust EWASTE+ to handle electronics recycling and IT asset disposition (ITAD) with a focus on security, compliance, and simplicity.
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.

What Our Certifications Mean
R2v3 Certification ensures electronics are processed responsibly, prioritizing reuse, proper recycling, and environmental protection. It also includes strict controls for data security and chain-of-custody.
RIOS Certification demonstrates our commitment to quality, environmental responsibility, and health & safety management. It ensures our processes are efficient, consistent, and meet both customer and regulatory requirements.
NAID AAA Certification verifies that we meet the highest standards for secure data destruction. This includes verified employee background checks, written procedures, and regular unannounced audits.
Secure IT Asset Disposition for Schools and Universities
Disposing of IT assets in educational environments requires more than just collection. Laptops, desktops, and servers often contain sensitive data tied to students and staff, and mishandling that data can lead to costly breaches or non-compliance.
EWASTE+ offers secure IT asset disposition that aligns with your institution’s data protection policies and industry standards. We can physically destroy or sanitize hard drives in accordance with NAID AAA standards, giving you peace of mind that no data will ever be recovered.
We also provide:
- Flexible pickup scheduling tailored to your calendar
- Locking data totes for secure transport
- Chain-of-custody documentation
- Detailed reporting for audit and compliance use
- Value recovery through certified resale
Downstream Data Coverage: What It Means for You
EWASTE+ offers Downstream Data Coverage, a specialized insurance-backed program that protects your institution in the unlikely event of a data breach after materials leave your site. It extends data liability coverage throughout the entire downstream recycling process—not just while in our possession—giving you a complete risk management solution from pickup through final disposition.
