Electronics Recycling

by Angie Scheu, Owner and Founder

It's going to take all of us working together to clean up the environment. It is estimated that electronic waste equals over 70% of the world's overall toxic waste (source: dosomething.org) contributing to the increasing waste stream and pollution problems. Reducing electronic waste is just one part of the recycling solution. We are pleased to announce that we have teamed up with a local company who aligns very well with our environmental mission - TDR Total Computer Recyclers LLC (TDR). Our partnership with TDR will provide our community with an ongoing electronics recycling solution. 

TDR is a SWACO-Approved Recycler based right here in Central Ohio. The Company was founded by Dwight Williams. Dwight holds an Electrical and Electronics Engineering Degree from Franklin University. In addition to his interest in electronics, cleaning up the environment is important to Dwight. So, he set out to open TDR in 1995 with a mission to reduce electronic waste. And, for 27 years, TDR has done exactly that. To Dwight, it's about leaving a lasting legacy of a livable planet for future generations to thrive. We are pleased to be working with Dwight and his team on this important waste diversion initiative.
