About us
Two Decades of Circular Innovation. Born in Boulder.
Since 2003, we’ve been transforming the way the world handles retired technology. What started as a mission in Colorado has grown into a global engine for sustainable asset recovery, processing millions of devices with elite security and environmental precision.
Our Mission: To Power the Circular Economy
At Cellular Recycler, our mission is to create sustainable and successful electronics recycling solutions. We believe that the fastest way to protect the planet is to get technology back into use—or recycled the right way.
01. Data Security First
Your Reputation is Our Priority: We understand that every device holds a memory. Our NIST-compliant data sanitization protocols ensure that your personal and corporate data is 100% destroyed before any device finds its second life.
02. Environmental Stewardship
Responsible Recovery: We operate in accordance with CTIA and R2v3 guidelines. By refurbishing the vast majority of what we receive, we extend the useful life of technology and minimize e-waste footprint.
03. Community & Global Impact
Bridging the Divide: From partnering with local non-profits to providing affordable refurbished technology to global markets, our work supports human connection as much as it protects the environment.
Electronics Recycling Built from the Ground Up.
You need serious capacity to handle 1,100 makes and models of smartphones and over 5,000 types of electronics. We’ve spent 20+ years building that infrastructure right here in Boulder to ensure no device is ever "wasted."
- 9 Million & Counting: We are proud to have kept an estimated 9 million phones and over 32 million accessories out of landfills.
- The R2v3 Gold Standard: We don't just "recycle." We hold the R2v3 certification—the industry’s most rigorous independent audit—ensuring your data is destroyed and assets are recovered responsibly. This foundation allows us to provide specialized ITAD (IT Asset Disposition) services that combine high-security data destruction with maximum value recovery for the world’s largest mobile fleets.
- Strategic Lifecycle Management: Our mission is to keep valuable equipment in the economy and out of the ground, providing a turnkey solution for carriers, retailers, and enterprises nationwide.
The Visionaries Behind the Loop.
Our leadership team combines decades of experience in wireless logistics, environmental policy, and data security. We aren't just processing devices; we are engineering the future of sustainable technology.
