CompuCycle, Goodwill Houston partner to offer electronics recycling services to Houston residents

Goodwill Houston and CompuCycle have partnered to provide residents with a way to donate and recycle household electronics.

Through this collaboration, Houston residents can drop off laptops, desktops, tablets, monitors, small printers and other household electronics at participating Goodwill Greater Houston donation centers. CompuCycle says items suitable for resale will support Goodwill's job training, education and community services. Electronics that cannot be resold will be sent to CompuCycle's Houston facility, where materials are sorted and recycled entirely in-house through a controlled process.

“This partnership represents the best of what local collaboration can achieve,” CompuCycle CEO Kelly Adels Hess says. “Together with Goodwill, we’re creating a simple pathway for Houstonians to make a positive impact—whether that’s funding job training programs or ensuring their old electronics are processed responsibly right here in Houston.”

CompuCycle says it processes all electronics in-house at its 130,000-square-foot dual-certified Houston facility, managing sorting, separation and processing entirely within its local operations.

“Goodwill Houston is committed to creating opportunities that strengthen our community while protecting the environment,” Goodwill Houston Chief Operating Officer Adel Karam says. “Partnering with CompuCycle allows us to responsibly recycle electronics, keeping millions of pounds of harmful materials out of landfills.”

CompuCycle is based in Houston and holds both R2 and e-Stewards certifications. The company says it’s been a longstanding leader in Houston as the region’s first woman-owned certified electronics recycler. CompuCycle also operates an e-plastics processing line capable of turning electronic plastics into single-polymer materials that can be reused in domestic manufacturing.
