Responsible Disposal
Electronics Recycling for Businesses
Certified data destruction, signed pickup documentation, and responsible downstream recycling — for Atlanta-area businesses retiring IT equipment of any size or type.

Recycling that comes with proof — not just a promise
Most electronics recycling options available to businesses are built around convenience, not accountability. A drop-off bin, a pickup with no documentation, a certificate that covers a truckload rather than an individual device. When a data breach happens, that kind of documentation does not hold up.
Prime Asset Recovery handles electronics recycling differently. Every engagement — regardless of size — includes a signed pickup manifest documenting every asset collected, certified data destruction on every data-bearing device, and a serialized certificate of destruction per device. All downstream recycling is handled by our R2-certified partners.
If your equipment has residual value, we assess it and return proceeds through direct buyback or revenue share. Many businesses receive a check rather than an invoice.

What every engagement includes
The same documented process on every job
Signed pickup manifest
Every asset collected is logged by serial number at pickup. You receive a signed manifest before our truck leaves — chain of custody begins the moment we arrive.
Certified data destruction
Every data-bearing device is physically shredded or wiped to NIST SP 800-88 standards at our Marietta, GA facility. A certificate of destruction with every device individually recorded by serial number — not grouped as a lot.
Responsible downstream recycling
Non-recoverable equipment is transferred to our R2-certified downstream recycling partners for responsible material disposition. Nothing goes to landfill.
Value recovery assessment
Every asset is assessed for resale value at no cost to you. Equipment that can be remarketed generates a payment back to you through direct buyback or revenue share.
Final asset report
On completion you receive a full asset report covering every item collected — disposition method, destruction date, and any recovery value returned. Suitable for compliance audit purposes.
Free pickup for most businesses
For most business quantities in metro Atlanta and the Southeast, there is no charge for pickup. We come to you — no drop-off required.

Compliance
Documentation that holds up in an audit
HIPAA
Healthcare organizations require certified destruction of PHI-bearing devices with device-level documentation. We provide serialized certificates of destruction per device — the standard required for HIPAA audit purposes.
SOX & PCI-DSS
Financial data and cardholder data environments require auditable chain of custody. Every engagement is documented to the device level with signed pickup manifests and serialized destruction certificates.
NIST SP 800-88
All data sanitization follows NIST SP 800-88 guidelines — the federal standard for media sanitization. Certificate of destruction for every device individually recorded by serial number with its own line-item reference.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum quantity?
No minimum. We handle single-device pickups the same as large office cleanouts. Every engagement receives the same documentation and destruction standards regardless of size.
Is pickup free?
For most business pickups in metro Atlanta and Cobb County, there is no charge for pickup. For very small quantities or locations outside our primary service area, we will discuss logistics and any applicable fees upfront before scheduling.
What happens to our data?
Every data-bearing device is physically shredded or wiped to NIST SP 800-88 standards at our Marietta, GA facility. You receive a serialized certificate of destruction tied to each device's serial number. Nothing is outsourced — we control the full destruction process.
What if our equipment still has value?
We assess everything for resale value at no cost to you. Equipment that can be remarketed generates a payment back to you through direct buyback or revenue share. Many businesses are surprised at what their retired IT equipment is worth.
Do you recycle monitors and non-data equipment?
Yes. Monitors, printers, keyboards, cables, battery backups, and general IT peripherals are all accepted. Everything is processed through our R2-certified downstream recycling partners for responsible material disposition.
Do you serve residential customers?
Our primary focus is business and enterprise clients. For residential recycling options in the Atlanta area, check community drop-off events — we occasionally participate in public e-waste collection events.
