Paladin EnviroTech adds location in Maryland

Paladin EnviroTech, a Tampa, Florida-based provider of information technology asset disposition (ITAD), electronics recycling and critical material recovery solutions, has opened its first Paladin Recycle Local satellite location in Laurel, Maryland.

The new site targets small and midsized organizations that generate significant volumes of data-bearing equipment but lack access to secure, enterprise-grade end-of-life infrastructure, closing a critical gap in domestic recovery, security and accountability, according to the company.

The Laurel site marks the first step in a broader rollout of Paladin Recycle Local satellite facilities planned throughout the year, forming the foundation of a scalable national footprint for regional and midmarket customers that is designed to bring secure ITAD and recycling services closer to where technology is generated.

Paladin was formed in mid-2025 by SER Capital Partners (SER), a private investment firm with offices in New York and California that is dedicated to sustainability, and Daeheung Recycling South Korea. Immediately upon its formation, Paladin completed its first two acquisitions of regional electronics recycling businesses: TechSmart International of Florida and Integrated Recycling Technologies of Minnesota.

Paladin says its hub-and-satellite model enables local intake, faster service and standardized handling while applying the same operating controls, security standards and reporting across every site. As demand grows, the model allows the company to expand coverage quickly without compromising compliance or chain of custody.

The Laurel satellite location provides free pickup and on-site data destruction, with full operational capability launching March 1. It will serve regional and midmarket organizations within a 150-mile radius, including the nation’s capital and Baltimore, which Paladin says are key hubs for public-sector organizations and critical materials recovery.

“Small or midsized organizations shouldn’t need a truckload of equipment to access secure, compliant e-waste recycling,” says Brian Diesselhorst, CEO of Paladin EnviroTech. “For years, their smaller volumes have placed them outside the economic focus of most traditional ITAD providers. Paladin Recycle Local is built to remove that barrier by providing on-site data destruction, compliant recycling and clear chain of custody, so organizations can retire technology with confidence.”

“Many small and midsized organizations don’t have the budget or assurance to securely dispose of electronics at end-of-life,” adds Chief Operating Officer Bill Vasquez. “By building local infrastructure, we’re making secure, compliant disposal easier to access so customers can do the right thing for security and for responsible recycling. Our goal is to bring these benefits to local communities across the country.”

Paladin Recycle Local is one of Paladin’s integrated product lines, alongside its secure ITAD and domestic electronics recycling services, enterprise resource planning and chain-of-custody software platform and rare earth magnet recovery initiative, REcapture.
