SRS Opens Facility in Dallas

Sims Recycling Solutions (SRS), with North American headquarters in Chicago, has opened a new electronics recycling facility in Dallas. Formal operations began November 2011. 
 

According to SRS, the facility, which is slightly larger than 31,500 square feet, will service residents and businesses throughout Texas, including the cities of Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio and El Paso. 
 

Steve Skurnac, president of SRS, Americas, says, “Electronic waste is an exponentially growing problem all over the world. By bringing our electronics recycling and asset management capabilities to Dallas we are protecting Texas consumers and businesses from the risks associated with electronic waste disposal, minimizing freight costs, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, simplifying logistics and bringing new green jobs to Texas. We are excited about serving the greater Dallas community.” 
 

Services to be provided at the new facility include hand dismantling of electronics, hard drive destruction, baling and asset management. Further processing of electronics will take place at other SRS locations.

 

The Dallas facility is SRS’ 14th in North America and 50th worldwide. The compay's other North American plants are in Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, Ontario, South Carolina and Tennessee.
