This summer, power up with 4THBIN and give your unused tech a heroic send-off.

Summer is all about slowing down and recharging. Whether you are heading on vacation, spending more time outdoors, or simply enjoying a more relaxed routine, it is the perfect season to step back, refresh, and clear out what is no longer needed including your old electronics.

As we move into the second half of the year, it is a great time to take a closer look at the unused devices quietly piling up in drawers, closets, and office corners. From dusty laptops and tangled cords to outdated monitors and external hard drives, e-waste has a way of building up unnoticed. Globally, over 60 million metric tons of e-waste are generated each year, and that number continues to climb. Shockingly, only around 17 percent of that waste is properly recycled. That means millions of devices containing toxic materials and sensitive data are ending up in landfills or going unaccounted for.

At 4THBIN, we make it easy to take action. Whether you are a business managing a remote team or an individual doing a bit of summer cleaning, our services are designed to help you recycle responsibly and securely. Proper e-waste recycling not only protects your personal or organizational data, but also prevents harmful substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium from contaminating our environment. It is a simple step that creates a powerful impact.

How 4THBIN Can Support You This Summer

Our certified e-waste recycling process ensures that all end-of-life electronics are collected and processed in an environmentally responsible way. We safely dispose of hazardous materials and recover valuable resources - keeping harmful waste out of landfills and supporting a circular economy.

Our secure data destruction service goes beyond just wiping hard drives. We use industry leading methods that guarantee all sensitive information is completely destroyed and unrecoverable. This certified process gives you peace of mind that your data is protected from breaches and meets compliance requirements.

For companies with remote or hybrid teams, our remote return program offers a hassle free way to collect retired devices. We provide convenient shipping options and tracking to ensure your equipment is safely returned to us for processing without disrupting your workflow.

4THBIN 4GOOD

At 4THBIN, we are passionate about helping people make better decisions with their technology not just at work but in everyday life. That is why we created 4THBIN 4GOOD, a program that extends our mission beyond business. We share our knowledge and services to help students, schools, and individuals better understand the risks and responsibilities of e-waste. By raising awareness and promoting simple actions we are making it easier for everyone to contribute to a cleaner and safer future.

This summer take a moment to give your devices the attention they deserve. Whether you are packing for a trip, working from a new location,  or simply trying to declutter, 4THBIN is here to support you with reliable, responsible and secure e-waste solutions.

The Growing E-Waste Challenge and How 4THBIN Can Help

As technology continues to evolve, so does the amount of outdated equipment businesses must manage. In 2022 alone, the world generated more than 62 million metric tonnes of electronic waste, much of which still goes unrecycled or improperly handled. For many organizations, managing retired devices often falls to the bottom of the priority list. But as these devices stack up in storage closets or are discarded through unofficial channels, they quietly create risks to both data security and the environment.
