Company Profile

3R Technology began in 2003 out of a small office in Pioneer Square, providing a collection point and reuse center for the Take It Back Network of King County. Founder Glen Gaidos realized the need for a service that met the complete electronics recycling needs of small and medium sized businesses. Many organizations do not have the resources to transport their end-of-life equipment, nor do they have the staff to ensure that the meticulous task of data destruction is carried out.

In the last 6 years, we've recycled thousands of computers, millions of pounds of e-waste, and helped clear space in hundreds of offices, warehouses, households and facilities where e-waste has been stored, taking up valuable space.

We've also refurbished, donated, and repaired thousands of computers that have found a new life in schools, businesses and homes.

Our primary mission is to encourage reuse, the best form of recycling. We live in a technology-rich area, where access to information and communication is accepted as a way of life. Our operation has helped redistribute this technology to those who are disadvantaged, looking for inexpensive access, or simply seeking to extend the life of their equipment.

Growing demand for our services has meant growth in space and staff. In 2007, we added asset management services to our suite of programs. This past year we have expanded our facility to a 6500 sqft space, adding capacity to our recycling, refurbishment, and retail operations.

Beginning in 2009, a portion of our profits will also go to support a a few select non-profits that we are particularly inspired by.

3R Technology is a registered collector for the e-Cycle Washington program, and also an active member of the WRSA, WTIA, and City of Seattle Resource Venture.
