Here's a number we're proud of: in a single recent two-week stretch, more than 10,000 pounds of business technology came through our doors for secure recycling. Old desktops, laptops, monitors, servers, and networking gear from offices across Central Ohio — all diverted from the landfill, all with the data handled securely. It's a sign of something bigger: Columbus businesses are getting serious about responsible e-waste recycling, and they're choosing a local partner to do it.

Why the surge?

A few things are driving it. Businesses are refreshing hardware faster than ever, which means more retired equipment. Data-security and compliance expectations keep rising, so "toss it in the dumpster" is no longer an option. And companies increasingly want a local, accountable partner — not a mystery mail-away service — to handle it right. That's exactly what we do here in Grove City, minutes from downtown Columbus.

What 10,000 pounds actually means

That's thousands of pounds of electronics kept out of Ohio landfills — valuable metals recovered, hazardous materials handled properly, and a mountain of sensitive data securely destroyed rather than left to chance. For the businesses involved, it also meant one less logistical headache and, in many cases, value recovered from equipment that still had life left. That's the whole idea: doing right by the planet and the bottom line.

The local choice Columbus trusts

We've served Central Ohio since 2016, we're BBB-accredited, and we already partner with offices and school districts across the region. When you recycle with Strictli, you're keeping it local, keeping it accountable, and keeping your data safe. Let's add your old equipment to the next 10,000 pounds.
