Tide Rock Holdings acquires Full Circle Electronics

Tide Rock Holdings, a strategic holding company based in San Diego, has acquired Full Circle Electronics, a sustainable electronics recycling provider specializing in scalable asset and decommissioning recycling processes for small to large industries based in Pike, New Hampshire.   

According to a news release from Tide Rock, Full Circle recently expanded its national footprint, spanning from coast to coast, with locations in California, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia and Florida. The company has International Traffic in Arms Regulations registered locations and R2 certified facilities in its portfolio and manages and processes waste, scrap and obsolete circuit boards.  

“With tightening government regulations, increased awareness of proper disposal, quicker replacement of electronics goods and proper disposal of secure data, the electronics recycling industry is attractive to Tide Rock,” Brooks Kincaid, president of Tide Rock Holdings. “Full Circle Electronics has been growing organically and through acquisitions across the country and we look forward to building a national brand with a coast-to-coast footprint.”  

Full Circle, led by CEO Tracey Haslam, is a group of companies committed to the safe and secure processing of the rapidly growing electronic waste generated by today’s lifestyle. Full Circle Electronics collects, processes and returns usable equipment and commodities into the market from electronic waste streams. The company says it is certified by U.S. recycling and international quality standards.  

“Our data destruction processes tracks, destroys, documents and reports for our customer’s peace of mind,” Haslam says. “We are proud of the trusted relationship we have with technology and service provider leaders in handling their most sensitive data and technology.”  

Full Circle’s retail arm provides access to previously owned electronic equipment and laptops to those who would otherwise be unable to achieve such accessibility. The company is a beacon in communities for students and small businesses.  

This is the third recycling company acquired by Tide Rock Holdings, following American Recycling and Cal Micro Recycling. With the acquisition, Tide Rock says it has dramatically scaled its recycling business to include expertise in electronics decommissioning and certified data destruction.
