Leading Maryland Computer Recycling Firm A Better Way Computer Recycling Achieves Top Industry Designation For Responsible Recycling Practices

Maryland-based IT recycling firm A Better Way Computer Recycling is one of the first to be recognized as R2:2013 Certified.

Elkridge, MD (PRWEB) - The security and privacy of customer data and information always seems to be top of mind for companies and consumers nowadays, but what happens when the hardware and systems a company is using are retired? Paper files get shredded, but how can companies make sure their data doesn’t get thrown out with the digital bath water?

In an area that’s becoming increasingly known as the nation’s digital security capital, the DC-Baltimore corridor has an overwhelming number of agencies and contractors that need to be sure their customer data or proprietary information is being disposed of properly. A Better Way Computer Recycling, Maryland’s leading electronics recycler, works to responsibly dispose of computers and other electronic equipment in a way that companies can not only feel secure about, but also environmentally proud of.

Already a R2:2008 Certified Recycler, A Better Way Computer Recycling has achieved Responsible Recycling Practices for Electronics Recyclers (R2:2013) certification—one of the electronics recycling industry’s most noteworthy designations—for its flagship Elkridge, Md. warehouse location. This means that companies can recycle their old computers and electronics with A Better Way Computer Recycling and be sure that their “e-waste” is properly and securely disposed of. With an on-site industrial shredder, companies can be sure their data is truly destroyed and hard drives can’t be accessed after they’re properly recycled.

“We like to be on the forefront of the industry, and being one of the first R2:2013 recyclers in Maryland proves that,” said Jeremy Limmer, co-founder of A Better Way Computer Recycling. “This updated certification will give not only our customers peace of mind but also our staff. We’ve taken many steps to make sure we provide a safe working environment for our employees, protect our environment, and provide bulletproof electronic recycling and data destruction for our customers.”

To achieve this prestigious certification, A Better Way Computer Recycling was evaluated by independent third-party auditors that thoroughly analyzed the company’s programs and operations, rating them for proper protocol in more than 50 functional areas. Companies that hold the R2:2013 Certification have been identified as best-in-class for the areas of data security, environmental practices, proper e-waste disposal, and appropriate equipment repurposing.

In addition to its new R2:2013 certification, A Better Way Computer Recycling assists companies with:

• Computer and Electronic recycling with full asset management tracking capabilities using bar code technology.
