New York e-recyclers merge

New York City-based electronics recycler 4thBin Inc. has announced a recent merger with Long Island, New York-based EcoTech Management Inc. 4thBin says the merger expands the strategic relationship developed by the two e-Stewards certified companies over the past decade.

4thBin says the companies share the same values and now will be able to offer more products, services and locations.

“We believe very few companies have the brand, industry insight and trusted relationships which 4thBin has developed among top-tier companies across all industries, nationally,” the company says in a release. “It’s front-end services and commitment are unparalleled. As such, the 4thBin brand will remain as the premier solution for thousands of businesses, from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies.”

4thBin adds that coupling with EcoTech’s 70 years of experience in recycling commodities will enable the combined group to provide clients with a unique and trusted experience.

EcoTech is a division of Crestwood Metal Corp., a recycling and refining facility based in Holbrook, New York, that has been in operation since 1955. EcoTech operates on 10 acres and says it employs over 100 people on Long Island. The company maintains e-Stewards, Responsible Recycling (R2V3), NAID and Recycling Industry Operating Standard (RIOS:2016) certifications.

4thBin says it provides e-recycling solutions to over 10,000 U.S. businesses, including certified data destruction support. The company claims it is New York City’s first e-Stewards certified firm and has received Ecovadis’ platinum rating.
