Technology Explained is happy to announce our newest initiative! As we have always practiced: Technology Recycling is a critical part to Technology Development. Ensuring your technology is properly disposed AND that your personal data is cleared from it is always something we have done.

Elephants throughout the world are dwindling in population, but not for the reasons you may think. Elephant habitats are being destroyed to provide the materials for your newest computer, cellphone, tablet and even stereos. With our latest initiative it is our goal to continue to recycle our customers electronics (free of charge) to help ensure these beautiful animals continue to have a place on our earth.

When you purchase, upgrade, or even just get tired of your old device, let us know the next time were at your location and well be happy to recycle it for you!
