DTG enters electronics recycling with acquisition of 1 Green Planet

Bothell, Washington-based DTG Recycle has announced the acquisition of substantially all assets of 1 Green Planet, Renton, Washington.

1 Green Planet provides its customers with electronics management services, including information technology asset disposition, certified electronics recycling and secure data and product destruction.

This acquisition by DTG Recycle builds on its history of construction, demolition, commercial recycling and recent entry into organics recycling.

“The acquisition of 1 Green Planet aligns with DTG and our mission to offer a comprehensive approach to recycling and waste services,” DTG Recycle CEO Tom Vaughn says. “By acquiring 1 Green Planet, DTG now offers another opportunity to further our customers’ sustainability goals. We are excited to continue giving exceptional service to 1 Green Planet’s customers and add more services to DTG’s repertoire.”

Following a recent investment by Australia-based Macquarie Asset Management, DTG Recycle will leverage its existing network of facilities to make e-scrap recycling services more accessible throughout Puget Sound and Washington state, the company says.

DTG Recycle is welcoming 1 Green Planet employees to the team and offers a full package of benefits,  as well as training and education opportunities, such as tuition reimbursement, DTG University continuing education and DTG’s in-house CDL driver training school.

The electronics recycling company refurbishes electronics, destroys data-bearing devices such as hard drives and dismantles and processes other electronic items. The company serves a wide variety of industries, including hospitality, various medical fields, dental, entertainment, government and aerospace.
