'Smart Business' magazine names Commonwealth Computer Recycling to the Smart 50

Commonwealth Computer Recycling, an information technology asset disposal (ITAD) and data destruction service provider in the mid-Atlantic region with locations outside of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, recently was named a Smart 50 business by Smart Business magazine.

This award, given annually, recognizes local area businesses that demonstrate innovative and sustainable approaches to business. Competing in the small business category, Commonwealth’s approach to sales and giving back to local communities caught the judges’ eyes.

“This award really solidifies our belief at Commonwealth that you can build a business centered around helping the environment and the local community,” said Serdar Bankaci, founder and CEO of Commonwealth.

The company’s data destruction services, which include hard drive and paper shredding, ensure electronic or physical data are disposed of in a secure, environmentally friendly manner, according to Commonwealth.

“Some companies and schools are aware of the liability associated with misplacing their customers’ or students’ personal data, but unfortunately many are not,” Bankaci says.

In 2015, the state of Delaware implemented a new law that requires commercial entities doing business in Delaware to responsibly destroy their employees’ and customers’ “personal identification information.”
