"We've used 2trg twice now, and couldn't be happier with our experience: a friendly, helpful, and professional staff, and being able to know that our electronic waste is being disposed of in a way that's consistent with our values.  We couldn't recommend them more highly." 

-Justin Golden, Lightborne

The Story of Electronics

Learn about the toxic materials in electronics and why it's important to choose a responsible e-waste recycler.

Beware of Irresponsible Recyclers

60Min_TNail

CBS 60 Minutes reports on illegal e-waste shipments to China
Not all recyclers operate legally, responsibly or safely, and they are causing hazardous—even deadly—working and living conditions for men, women and children in poverty-stricken villages.

2trg is a responsible recycler. We recognize the effects of illegal dumping on other communities. Make an informed decision when choosing a recycler and ensure that it does not send electronics to developing countries or practice electronics dumping.
