Electronics & Computer Recycling in Des Moines and Iowa
Responsible, Certified, & Secure Recycling for IT Equipment & Electronics.
Whether your organization is upgrading hardware, clearing out legacy systems, or retiring devices at the end of life, proper electronics and computer recycling is critical. At Electronic Asset Security, we handle technology recycling for businesses throughout the Des Moines metro and across Iowa — with a focus on security, compliance, and documentation you can trust.
Outdated electronics — from desktop computers and laptops to servers, phones, and networking equipment — can pose a significant risk if disposed of improperly:
- Data Risk: Many devices contain storage or embedded data that must be handled securely.
- Compliance Exposure: Regulated industries must document proper disposal practices.
- Environmental Responsibility: Electronics contain materials that require proper handling, recycling, and disposal.
- Asset Accountability: Businesses need clear records of how retired equipment was managed.
Simply dropping devices into a bin or sending them to an informal recycler is not an option for organizations that care about security, compliance, and liability.
Our Approach: Secure, Certified Electronics & Computer Recycling
At Electronic Asset Security, we combine data protection practices with responsible recycling, giving businesses a solution that checks all the boxes:
Business-Focused Electronics Collection

- Desktop computers and workstations
- Business laptops and mobile devices
- Servers and rack equipment
- Printers, monitors, and peripherals

Integrated Data Protection
Before recycling:
- Data-bearing devices are sanitized or destroyed
- Methods align with NIST 800-88 media sanitization standards
- Destruction is documented with certificates and audit records
This protects your organization from data exposure and supports compliance reporting.
Certified, Responsible Recycling
We follow R2v3 certification standards, ensuring your electronics are recycled in a way that:
- Respects environmental regulations
- Protects worker safety
- Maintains downstream transparency
- Fulfills ethical recycling commitments
This approach is particularly important for regulated businesses and organizations with sustainability goals.
Full Documentation for Business Records
Business recycling engagements include:
- Chain of custody documentation
- Certificates of recycling and destruction
- Final disposition reports for audit or compliance purposes
These records help minimize risk and satisfy internal or external requirements.
If your business is retiring old computers, electronics, or IT equipment, you don’t have to guess about the right way to dispose of them.
