HOW WE CAN ASSIST YOUR BUSINESS
Waste Commission of Scott County’s Electronics Recovery Center provides businesses with a variety of cost-effective and environmentally sound disposal options for computers and other IT assets. The Commission can:
  • Educate you and your staff about e-waste and disposal
  • Provide no- and low-cost disposal for both common and uncommon IT assets
  • Offer guidance for proper transportation, storage and handling of e-waste
  • Provide secure storage of data-containing items
  • Provide Certificates of Destruction
The Commission understands that businesses need a simple, affordable solution for disposing of electronic waste, due in part to legal considerations. It is illegal for businesses to dispose of electronics in the trash or dumpsters because e-waste contains toxins such as lead, mercury and cadmium, which pose a threat to human and environmental health.

Through its R2 (Responsible Recycling) certification, the facility ensures data security and downstream due diligence of potentially hazardous materials to final disposition. These important aspects of our program are discussed at greater length below. Or, for more information about R2, as well as our ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications, please visit our certifications page.

DATA SECURITY
As part of our commitment, the Commission follows the Waste Reduction Hierarchy, which holds that reuse is superior to recycling in terms of environmental stewardship.

All electronic material is evaluated as it enters our facility to determine whether it may be reused. Items deemed to have additional useful life are set aside for reuse, pending further assessment. For more information, visit our Electronics Reuse Program page. End-of-life materials that contain data are physically shredded and then recycled.

Our facility is equipped with security cameras and other safeguards to ensure that sensitive or confidential information is not compromised. From the moment your material arrives at our facility, we track it using a barcode system.

All data-containing items, including hard drives slated for reuse, are stored in locked cages at all times. We use state-of-the-art hardware and software to destroy information contained on these drives. We then evaluate each drive through a second, independent process that verifies that it contains none of the old information. We verify the efficacy of our data destruction process with every drive, every time. That’s our commitment.
