Recycling Your E-Waste in Surrey

Computer Recycling in Surrey

Laptop and desktop computers carry a high risk of data leaks, along with environmental hazards due to embedded batteries. When businesses need computer recycling services, it’s essential that the end-of-life assets are handled securely and in accordance with environmental regulations. We offer reuse and recycling services to help Surrey businesses minimize their environmental impact and ensure compliance. At the same time, our certified data destruction services give you peace of mind in knowing any sensitive data is managed with the utmost level of security from the moment it leaves your facility.

Smartphone Recycling in Surrey

Smartphones contain valuable materials including gold, silver, and lithium batteries. Without proper recycling, these resources go to waste. Furthermore, should they wind up in landfills, the lithium batteries in smartphones pose risks of fire and explosion. We work with Surrey 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.

Escalating e-waste production in Surrey

Surrey is a large and geographically diverse city. It is one of the fastest-growing towns in British Columbia– a leader in creating vibrant, sustainable communities founded upon technology and innovation. As an example of Surrey’s commitment to sustainable development, the groundbreaking Surrey biofuel facility was opened in 2018.

Surrey is also home to over 40 companies that make up about 10% of British Columbia’s cleantech sector. It is at the forefront of advancing environmentally-sensitive solutions. With such rapid development and economic growth, it is unsurprising that Surrey’s 18,000 businesses continue to produce increasing amounts of e-waste.

Where can you recycle in Surrey?

The biofuel facility is part of Surrey’s more extensive Rethink Waste Program. Throughout the city, you’ll find waste carts and recycling bins, as well as a dedicated transfer station that accepts recyclable materials for free disposal.

The Surrey Transfer Station is located at 9770-192 Street.
