Zero Landfill Policy

At EACR Inc., we believe electronics recycling must go beyond convenience—it has to prioritize responsibility. That’s why we operate with a strict zero landfill policy. Whether it’s a full-scale data center teardown or a stack of old laptops from your office, we ensure that everything we touch is either reused, recovered, or ethically recycled. Nothing is ever dumped.

What Does “Zero Landfill” Really Mean?

Plenty of recyclers say they “dispose responsibly,” but for us, zero landfill means exactly that: no electronics waste ends up in a landfill.

We sort, separate, and process all materials—plastic, glass, copper, aluminum, and more—so they can be properly recycled or reused.

All electronic waste is handled with environmental care with long-term sustainability in mind. Every material we touch is managed with transparency, safety, and long-term sustainability in mind.

The Impact of E-Waste on Landfills

Electronic waste is the fastest-growing solid waste stream in the world. In 2022, a record 62 million metric tonnes (Mt) of e-waste were generated globally—an 82% increase since 2010—and it’s expected to reach 82 million tonnes by 2030, according to the Global E-Waste Monitor.

Despite containing billions of dollars in recoverable materials, most electronics are discarded without being recycled. In fact, just 1% of rare earth element demand is met by e-waste recycling—a massive missed opportunity for resource recovery.

In the United States alone:

  • Over 9.4 million tons of e-waste are discarded annually.

  • While electronics make up only 2% of landfill volume, they account for 70% of all toxic waste in landfills (The World Counts).

Improper disposal allows toxic substances—mercury, cadmium, lead, brominated flame retardants—to leach into soil and water, threatening ecosystems and public health for generations.

How EACR Makes a Difference

To date, EACR Inc. has diverted more than 200 million pounds of electronic waste from landfills. Our team processes materials in a way that prioritizes reuse and recovery, not disposal.

We ensure items are handled securely and responsibly. Every job comes with documentation so you know you’re materials were properly recycled and kept out of landfills.
