Computer Recycling in Coquitlam

Laptop and desktop computers carry a high risk of data leaks, along with environmental hazards due to embedded batteries.

We work with Coquitlam businesses and municipalities to make smartphone recycling convenient. Quantum is also fully certified, so you can rest assured any personal data is properly destroyed and your smartphones are recycled responsibly.

What does Coquitlam’s booming economy spell for e-waste in the future?

Coquitlam is flourishing. Recently completed infrastructure improvements like the city’s rapid transport systems and other public amenities have made this Vancouver suburb attractive to local and foreign investment. Coquitlam pioneered local dark-fiber commercial enterprise. It was one of the first cities linking residents and businesses to virtually unlimited connectivity and bandwidth.
With the population expected to nearly double within the next 20 years, the local government continues to attract new businesses to the area. Needless to say, Coquitlam’s e-waste production is expected to follow along that uptick as well.
