What is Electronic Recycling?

Electronic recycling is the process of responsibly disposing of outdated or unused tech equipment — from servers and laptops to mobile devices and more. At TAMS, we go beyond standard recycling. Our services prioritize secure data destruction, regulatory compliance, and value recovery, helping organizations safely navigate the end-of-life lifecycle for their IT assets. We specialize in recycling electronics, computer recycling, and e-waste recycling for organizations with complex tech infrastructures.

Complete Confidence in Every Recycled Asset

For enterprise organizations, managing tech lifecycles is a nonstop operation — but when it’s time to retire aging hardware, the risks get real. Data privacy, regulatory pressure, and environmental responsibility aren’t boxes you can afford to check halfway.

That’s where TAMS earns its keep.

With more than 20 years in the business, we’ve built trusted partnerships with Fortune 500s, hyperscalers, government agencies, school systems, and healthcare networks nationwide. Our electronic recycling and ITAD services are built on three things that matter most:

Security is at the center of everything we do. Every asset we process goes through rigorous data destruction — from hard drive shredding to certified erasure — with full documentation available in our real-time client portal. We’re PCI DSS compliant, so even organizations dealing with sensitive payment data are covered.

Compliance is more than a checkbox. As an R2v3 certified recycler with multiple ISO accreditations, we don’t just meet industry standards — we raise them. Every job includes a Certificate of Destruction and complete audit access through your secure portal.

Recovery turns your retired tech into real value. Our resale network is one of the strongest in the industry, helping you get more back from your hardware — and track every dollar through detailed reconciliation reports.

Whether you’re cycling out thousands of devices or closing down an entire data center, TAMS makes the process seamless, secure, and surprisingly valuable. Because your IT lifecycle doesn’t stop at decommissioning — and neither do we.

Our Certifications

We proudly highlight our unwavering commitment to excellence and adherence to the highest industry standards. Our certifications, including SERI R2v3, I-Sigma NAID AAA, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018, reflect our dedication to quality management, environmental responsibility, occupational health and safety, and secure data destruction. Additionally, our data destruction processes comply with the stringent NIST-800-88 r1 guidelines, including clear and purge methods, ensuring the secure and thorough erasure of data. Our regular PCI DSS audits, performed by certified PCI QSA/ISA personnel, ensure that systems handling payment information undergo compliant secure data destruction services. These certifications and compliance measures not only demonstrate our commitment to operational excellence but also assure our clients that we meet and exceed the industry’s most rigorous benchmarks for responsible, secure and sustainable IT asset disposition.
