USA Recycling Centers joins Done with IT program

The Electronics Reuse & Recycling Alliance (TERRA), Nashville, Tennessee, has announced that USA Recycling Centers (USARC) has joined its Done with IT program and will provide certified recycling services to more than 18.5 residents of Florida from their certified Responsible Recycling (R2) facility in Riviera Beach, Florida.

According to a news release from TERRA, Done with IT serves more than 257 million people in 43 states with recycling options from its coast-to-coast network of 25 e-Stewards and certified R2 facilities. While the coronavirus has disrupted recycling programs nationwide, TERRA reports that its Done with IT mail-in program continues to provide electronics recycling in the U.S. 

Also, used electronics sent through Done with IT are shipped through the United States Postal Service; TERRA reports that the shipments average two to eight days for delivery. The delivery time allows extra time for potential surface contamination of retired electronics to be neutralized. 

“This national crisis has caused unprecedented disruptions to the materials supply chain,” says David Palmer at USARC. “We’re excited to join TERRA’s and offer simple and effective e-waste solutions to help alleviate some of this pressure.”

“While the electronics recycling industry has been deemed essential, social distancing is still critical to avoid the spread of the coronavirus,” says Steven Napoli, president and CEO of TERRA. “Done with IT offers e-waste recycling and ITAD (information technology asset disposition) services from nation's best recyclers for both businesses and consumers without the need for physical contact. TERRA and Done with IT are actively seeking more certified recycling partners like USARC.”
