"Can I recycle this?" It's the question we hear most — and the answer is usually yes. If you're looking for where to go for e-waste in Columbus, Ohio, here's a simple cheat sheet of what Strictli accepts, what happens to your old electronics once we have them, and how to hand them over.

What we accept

What happens to your electronics

Every device follows one of two paths. If it still works, we test, wipe, and refurbish it for a second life — keeping good tech in use and out of the waste stream. If it's truly at end-of-life, we responsibly recycle it, recovering valuable metals and handling any hazardous materials properly. Either way, your data is destroyed first: businesses receive NIST-compliant data destruction and Certificates of Destruction, and individuals should wipe devices first.
