Green Wave Computer Recycling

Founded in 2007, Green Wave Computer Recycling has grown from a local electronics recycler to one of the largest privately-owned Midwestern electronics recyclers/collectors. We also service numerous national accounts from coast to coast and provide unique collection and recycling solutions for local, regional, and national customers.

We currently operate a 55,000 square foot processing facility in Indianapolis, IN with several satellite collection points throughout the Midwest along with a fleet of trucks and trailers to service numerous accounts. In 2014, we are projected to recycle over 6 million pounds of electronic waste!

Mission Statement

Green Wave Computer Recycling will continually improve our systems while striving to minimize adverse
impacts on the environment throughout the operations and managing the end of the product life, including
recovery, reuse, recycle and disposal programs and only ensure that it only exports equipment and components to countries that legally accept them.

The Green Wave Advantage

Green Wave Computer Recycling helps you and your organization properly recycle your e-waste and destroy data-containing items to ensure security. We offer complete, auditable, e-waste recycling solutions for businesses, organizations, government agencies, solid waste districts, and the general public.

We currently eliminate millions of pounds of electronic waste from entering our landfills each year. We are
projected to process over 6 million pounds of electronic waste in 2014. Our 55,000 square foot Indianapolis processing facility receives and processes semi truck loads of electronics each and every day from customers across the nation.

Green Wave Computer Recycling holds itself to a high standard in terms of data security, environmentally
compliant recycling practices, social esponsibility, and recovering value through reuse. All of these goals fall in line with a voluntary e-waste recycling standard known as R2, which was developed by several industry stakeholders in conjunction with the United States EPA and requires third party audits of our facility, process, and procedures.

 When you partner with Green Wave, you can rest assured that your equipment will be processed according to the industry's best practices, which means that your equipment will not end up in landfills or exported to unapproved toxic dumps in developing countries. We utilize a network of R2-approved partners along with many, ISO 9001 certified and ISO 14001 certified partners for any processed scrap material that leaves our facility. To reduce liability and protect your company's reputation, make sure you're using an R2 certified recycling partner like us.

If you have questions regarding our process or other aspects of our business please call or e-mail us. We would be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have.
