Samsung Selects Turtle Wings as an Electronics Drop-Off Location

Turtle Wings Electronics Recycler, Capitol Heights, Md., has been designated by Samsung as a drop-off location for all Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia residents, the company says.

For this free recycling program, the product must be a Samsung electronic device, such as a cell phone, printer, monitor or TV. Appliances are not covered by this program. Other manufacturer’s electronic products will be accepted at this location for a nominal fee, according to the press release

“The thing that makes Turtle Wings really stand out from other companies is their commitment to the earth. Unlike other recyclers, who often started in the trash business or who got into this business for profit reasons, Turtle Wings has always had a no landfill policy and no export policy,” says Janet Inglehart. “Turtle Wings has a high integrity level and a long term commitment to preserving the earth.”

Turtle Wings is a woman-owned, hub-zoned company that provides electronic recycling services and data destruction services to nationwide customers. Turtle Wings also provides de-installation, removal and recycling services for robotic arms, telecom equipment, mainframes, tape libraries, lab equipment, production equipment, etc.

Turtle Wings also has a division called Data Killers that provides certified data destruction services to nationwide customers.

“In keeping with our landfill-free philosophy, all the residual material from our shredding projects is recycled in full compliance with all local, state and federal regulations. Other shredding companies send their shredded tapes to landfills but we adhere to a strict code of ethics in all aspects of our business,” says Elizabeth Wilmot, President of Turtle Wings and Data Killers.
