MWS is committed to customer privacy and sustainable solutions. As such, the following steps are followed for every customer load received:
1. Secure receiving and tracking – Each client load is tracked with a ticket number in our database and attached to the load staged inside our secure facility.
2. Triage – Each load is separated based on whether any devices may have data, then by category of device or material.
3. Treatment – Hard drives are removed and destroyed, devices and materials are separated for reuse or further tear down and recycling.
4. Responsible Recycling – We carefully audit and track materials sent from us to our downstream partners for further reuse, recycling, destruction and end-of-life processing.
We are subject to inspections, audits and imposed standards from various agencies, both private and public:
• California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC)
• CalOSHA
• Sustainable Electronics Recycling International (SERI)
• Various City of Sacramento Agencies
