> About Total Reclaim
Total Reclaim was created in 1990 to help industry and government agencies comply with the requirements of the 1990 Amendments to the Clean Air Act. Over the past 17 years, we have grown to become a major recycler of potentially hazardous equipment with operations in Washington, Oregon and Alaska. Our services are designed to help our customers comply with laws regarding the handling of hazardous materials, help them reduce their long-term legal liabilities, minimize the disposal of hazardous waste and help protect the environment that we all share. Total Reclaim and EcoLights strive to surpass legal environmental requirements and meet the highest industrial standards for environmental protection. We continue to add new services and products that enable our customers to protect the environment through the proper management of their hard-to-handle materials. ELECTRONICS RECYCLING PROGRAM
In 1999, Total Reclaim created our electronics recycling program to support King County’s Computer Recovery Project, which was later re-named the Take-it-Back Network. Total Reclaim was invited to participate in the Project, initially as a stakeholder and later as the preferred recycler of materials collected by participating collection sites. Over the past 9 years, we have developed a state-of-the-art, high-capacity electronics recycling facility in Seattle, Washington with satellite operations in Oregon and Alaska. This facility and our company-owed truck fleet allows us to offer comprehensive logistics, recycling and certified destruction services for any volume of electronics and a variety of other materials. Our customers range from individuals and small businesses to large manufacturers, transfer stations and government agencies. Total Reclaim is approved as a Collector. Transporter and Preferred Processor in Washington’s Electronics Recycling Program. This program encourages the recycling of computers, monitors and televisions by making it free to consumers and small business. (Certain restrictions apply. Details available online at www.ecyclewashington.org).Total Reclaim is also a contracted processor under the State of Oregon electronics recycling program, Oregon E-Cycles.
Total Reclaim has successfully completed the rigorous process of becoming an ISO 14001:2004 registered and R2:2008 certified organization. After months of developing and implementing a comprehensive Environmental Management System (EMS), Total Reclaim has now become one of only a few electronics processors across the county to earn this globally-recognized certification.
The ISO 14001 certification goes far beyond simply complying with environmental regulations. The advanced EMS that Total Reclaim implemented enables us to systematically identify our potential environmental impacts, take preventative measures to reduce these impacts and measure our success in terms of environmental performance. Further, by conforming to this ISO standard, Total Reclaim makes a commitment to continually improve the processes we use to manage and recycle millions of pounds of electronics each year.
EcoLights, a Seattle-based fluorescent lamp recycling company owned by Total Reclaim, has also received ISO 14001:2004 certification.
