Do Your Part With Electronics Recycling
Saving the environment is a big task. But by recycling your electronics, you can do your small part to help. Shred Nations connects you with local professionals that specialize in electronics recycling and destruction.
With our trusted network of partners, you’ll benefit from safe, secure, and privacy-focused destruction methods that comply with local, federal, and industry regulations.

It’s never been so simple to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
How Much Does Electronic Destruction Cost?
Rates differ by provider and location, so the final cost of your electronics recycling project depends on a few factors — quantity and type of devices, location, and any additional services you opt for.
The more electronics you have to recycle, the lower the cost tends to be (again, depending on the provider). If there’s travel involved, that can also impact cost. The types of devices you have also play a part, as do any special security measures you opt for.
