Once we collect your items we start processing them. 

All computers gets to shred. And this means that we manually take apart a computer and generate several piles of its different parts: plastic, metal, motherboards, hard drives, memory, floppy drives, wire, and miscellaneous. 

If some of the parts in good condition we do reuse them. But all hard drives are shredded in order to protect your privacy. Hard drives get our special attention. Our WipeMASSter machine erases sensitive data in seven passes which is required by DoD (Department of Defense). And you can really trust us on this one- we recycle hard drives for ICE, FBI, IRS, GSA, Social Security, Schools, and Community Services.

And all parts that are not reusable we sell for pennies a pound. We ship these materials to manufactures all over the country and some to China. Nothing gets dumped into rives or the landfills neither in the states nor in China. Manufactures use our scrap to make new electronic devises and since China is one of the major manufacturers in the world it needs more materials than any other country.  

Keep in mind, that a major portion of our manufacturing base has been outsourced to China a while ago. This country produces cheaper electronics and providing the Chinese with e-waste scrap is the best way to stock up our store’s shelves with affordable products! With all of the above being said, recycling electronics is the safest method of preserving limited virgin resources and keeping toxic trash out of the landfills.  

So next time you buy a new IPhone just think that there is a big chance it might have been made out of your old computer! And we almost forgot to mention – all electronic waste has to be recycled by state law. We want California to be green and environmentally healthy, don’t we?

On the 13^th of January 2010 TRI had the pleasure of servicing our Federal Government.

Departments included:

• ICE
• FBI
• IRS
• GSA
• Social Security and Community Services.  

TRI recovered almost 4,500 Lbs! It looks as though we are to be regular visitors to the facility, as we are currently proposing a regular collection schedule for this as well as the other Federal Buildings in Southern California.

This also speaks volumes for TRI, with security at the top of everyone's agenda the Feds chose TRI as their ewaste recycler of choice.

So hats off to our Federal Government for the leadership it is showing in this area. We think the picture speaks for itself!

What constitutes ewaste:

Electronic technology is constantly changing, placing a strain on how to properly dispose of older electronic devices.  Electronic waste (e–waste) is defined as any consumer electronic equipment that has become obsolete, whether in operable or inoperable condition.  E–waste incorporates most electronic equipment with an electrical cord or circuit board including computer monitors, printers, personal computer systems, laptops, mother-boards, networking equipment, photocopiers, scanners, facsimile machines, videocassette recorders, video compact disc/digital video disc players, home entertainment systems, and cell phones. Along with e–waste, TRI Products, Inc., also accepts car batteries.

What will not be accepted:

Refrigerators, microwave ovens, washers and dryers, household batteries, paints, solvents, used oil, light bulbs, hazardous waste.

Our joint effort with The City of Montclair is essencial for our planet's health. We can't collect e-waste without your participation. Please help us to dispose of your e-waste the right way!

We want to help our community by creating more green jobs. Join our team!

No openings available at this time. Please check back soon for updates.
