Computer Recycling in New Jersey

 

Computer recycling is regulated by the NJ DEP

New Jersey has one of the most restrictive computer recycling regulations in the US. The NJ DEP, along with 7 other State environmental regulatory agencies, has classified computer equipment as “Universal Waste”. Therefore, universal waste is managed by the EPA and has a regulated set of waste disposal handling requirements.  Under these handling guidelines, only properly registered “Universal Waste Destination Facilities” are permitted to process (recycle) universal waste.  The NJ DEP identifies NJ based computer recycling destination facilities as Class D Universal Waste Consumer Electronics facilities. Under the 2011 enacted NJ E-waste law, class D facilities are authorized to recycle computers and issue a valid computer recycling environmental compliance certificate.

Back Thru The Future is one of only 9 Class D licensed facilities in the State of NJ.

Back Thru The Future® is a federal and state registered “Universal Waste Consumer Electronics Destination Facility” (Permit No. CDG120002, EPA ID No. 000075416)

Don’t be mislead by businesses identifying themselves as NJ DEP “registered” computer recyclers.

Registered is not “licensed”.  The NJ e-waste law requires that electronic equipment must be recycled by a “licensed” electronic recycler.  In NJ that means a NJ DEP Class D licensed recycler.   Universal waste regulations require anyone handling or storing more than 11,000 pounds of universal waste must “register” with both the Federal EPA and NJ DEP as a “Large Quantity Universal Waste Handler”.  Handlers are specifically prohibited from processing (recycling) the stored material.  Most registered handlers are used computer resellers and can not issue a regulatory valid computer recycling certificate as required under the NJ e-waste law.

Our EPA audit report provides the details required to pass an EPA audit

We document each project with a report listing the manufacturer, model, type of equipment, weight and serial number of every item of equipment recycled.  This detailed EPA audit report provides a record proving your compliance to recycling regulations. If a one of your computers is found in an illegal dump and you don’t have this legally valid environmental compliance certificate and audit report, you could be held financially responsible for any environmental clean up costs.

Hard drive destruction under NJ DEP regulations

Surveys have shown that when recycling computer equipment, the single largest concern by CIOs is data security. The shredding of hard drives is the most effective technique for the destruction of recorded data. NJ DEP regulations specifically state:

…To “Crush, shred and puncture hard drives and electronic data storage media generated from the disassembly of used electronics” you must be a permitted “universal waste destination facility” as identified under 40 CRF 260 of the Federal EPA universal waste handling code….

We are NAID AAA certified as a secure on or offsite hard drive shredding operation.

Back Thru The Future was the first computer recycling business in the US to receive this certification. Additionally, we are the only NJ Class D licensed computer recycling facility that is also NAID AAA certified.
