E-Waste Recycling in Phoenix, AZ

What is E-Waste, and Why Should You Recycle It?

E-waste, or electronic waste, refers to discarded electronic devices that are no longer functional or useful. This includes everything from computers and laptops to circuit boards, routers, and data servers. As technology rapidly evolves, businesses and individuals alike generate more e-waste than ever before.

Recycling e-waste is not only a responsible environmental practice—it’s a necessity. When electronics end up in landfills, they release hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, and cadmium into the environment. These toxins can contaminate soil and water, posing serious health risks to humans and wildlife.

Proper recycling ensures that valuable raw materials like copper, gold, aluminium, and rare earth elements are recovered and reused, reducing the need for new mining and manufacturing. It also ensures that non-recyclable elements are disposed of safely.

What Types of Electronics and Materials Can Be Recycled?

Jay Hoehl Inc. accepts a wide array of electronics and industrial electronic components. Unlike residential programs that may only take basic items, we handle specialized and commercial-grade equipment as well.

Computers and IT Hardware

We recycle desktop computers, laptops (excluding CRTs), servers, storage systems, and other IT infrastructure. Whether you’re replacing old equipment or decommissioning a data center, we ensure that devices are securely handled and properly dismantled.

Network and Telecom Equipment

Businesses often upgrade routers, switches, modems, and firewalls. These devices contain recyclable metals and sensitive data, both of which require expert handling. We ensure full data security and material recovery.

Electronic Components

We also recycle printed circuit boards, processors, memory modules, and internal hardware. These components are rich in valuable metals and should never be thrown away. We ensure they are separated, cataloged, and directed through approved downstream partners.

RF and Microwave Equipment

Jay Hoehl Inc. is one of the few recyclers in Arizona experienced with RF (radio frequency) and microwave equipment. This includes amplifiers, oscillators, attenuators, and adapters. These components often come from industrial or aerospace facilities and require knowledgeable processing.

Peripherals and Cables

Power supplies, USB cables, Ethernet cords, and peripheral devices like keyboards and monitors (excluding CRTs) are all eligible for recycling.

How Does Jay Hoehl Inc. Protect Your Data?

One of the most critical components of responsible e-waste recycling is data security. Hard drives, solid-state drives, and storage media must be handled in a way that guarantees complete data destruction. Failure to do so can expose businesses to legal liabilities, privacy violations, and reputational damage.

Jay Hoehl Inc. offers several data security options:

• On-site and off-site hard drive shredding: For maximum physical destruction

• Degaussing: To render magnetic storage unreadable

• Certificates of Destruction (CoD): Documentation that confirms compliance

• Chain-of-Custody tracking: For full visibility over data-bearing devices

Our process is fully aligned with HIPAA, FACTA, GLBA, and ISO 27001 standards.

What Does the Recycling Process Look Like?

We designed our process to be transparent, secure, and efficient. Here’s how it works:

1. Initial Contact: Reach out via phone or contact form to request a pickup or consultation.

4. Sorting and Processing: Equipment is sorted by type. Data devices are isolated for destruction.

5. Destruction and Documentation: Storage devices are destroyed, and a certificate is issued.

6. Recycling and Recovery: Materials are dismantled and passed through certified downstream partners for proper reclamation.

Throughout this process, your items are handled in accordance with environmental best practices and documented procedures.

What Are the Environmental Benefits of E-Waste Recycling?

Recycling electronics directly supports sustainability and conservation goals. For example:

• Recovering metals like copper and gold reduces the need for mining

• Preventing electronics from ending up in landfills eliminates long-term pollution risks

• Recycling saves energy—reprocessing old components uses far less energy than creating new ones

• It protects human health by reducing exposure to toxic substances
