Using off the shelf data wipe software is not an option in light of the verified instances when hackers still got through and mine financial and personal info. Found ILS and they are free for computers, etc. they take out hard drives, drill holes through them to make them unusable, and recycle all of the materials. They are friendly and helpful. They are out in Stead, which for some may be too far to drive, but securely having your electronics not end up in the land fill and your personal info being hacked is well worth your time.

It has been a long while since I last dropped off e-waste at Intelligent Lifecycle Solutions. They…read morewere priced out of their previous building and, while the new location is not as convenient, it is well worth the drive! The staff are very friendly, patient, and communicative. We had lots of old electronic items to discard, from numerous cords/cables to phone equipment to our kids' very old laptops and iPad -- they took it all to be recycled. We even brought along old, broken Rock Band gaming instruments and a broken electronic drum kit and were happy that they took them! All for free! The items they do accept but charge for are TVs (now $45 each) and CRT monitors ($25 each).

It was a nice one that just died. The haul companies were charging $125 to take it away. It cost for us to deliver to the dump also. I called Western Metal on the phone first to ask questions. Nice polite lady gave me all the information I needed to make a decision. I was told we could take it in and get payment for the metal, donate the value, or just drop off and leave which was the quickest method. Once we took it there, everyone was nice and helpful. We just decided to drop it off. But if I had a lot of metal, I would have them donate the money. It is a great idea. I like the fact that the metal is being recycled rather than buried in the landfill. This was a great option and we will use them again.

Been using this recycling location for decades. Now this location only is used for cardboard and…read moreonly clean cardboard, not waxed. I have been a loyal recycler for a long time and didn't know waxed (covered in a plastic like film) wasn't recyclable-at least in our area. This place is easy to get to and employees are constantly running equipment so even though it's a sketchy area-I always felt safe coming here but be aware, about half the time I come here to drop off cardboard, there is some person inside the gate or near the gate that looks a bit suspicious. I have never once had any kind of confrontation but it's worth mentioning to be aware of your surroundings.

Gas is not cheap and my time is precious just like anybody else's time. I approach the gates a tall lanky bearded quite rude man says we quit taking stuff about 3 minutes ago I look at my watch and it says 402 now last I checked on the website it said 4:15. So apparently they have no decided to close at 4:00 like all the others The one thing that separated them and put them apart from everybody that extra 15 minutes which was a side factor not just My own decision to go there but several friends and family members. I don't know bad for business . The lazy guy in charge of updating website and the tall gentleman who dismissed me so eagerly with such vigor should get together and have lunch and maybe I can save the 15 minutes had a phone call with it relative or spared the $5 in gas and maybe I could have applied to something else.

Great way to save money and get your projects done. Thanks Russ! Marla C.

But this business does an amazing job at refurbishing and salvaging what they can from old houses. Majority of the items they sell have been salvaged from older homes. They are doing a great thing for the planet and this is a great place to check out if you are looking for a unique piece for your home!
