Response to BAN Press Release

energy companies need data security when disposing and reselling old computers and servers. we clean all data off the hard drives.

CompuCycle had no prior knowledge of the BAN press release on September 6, 2017.  We take issue with that release.  We are horrified to be listed by BAN as a “Scam Recycler.”

CompuCycle did not export a printer from our Houston facility to Hong Kong.  What actually happened is as follows: CompuCycle delivered 15 skids of printers to our approved recycler in Fort Worth, Texas, on July 13, 2017, and this is documented.  CompuCycle had previously performed significant due diligence on this approved recycler, and we have documentary proof that they routinely dispose of their dismantled printer materials in conformance with R2 standards.

Under this BAN press release, Jim Puckett and BAN have made an obvious attempt to besmirch our business reputation improperly, and we intend to pursue this matter more fully.

We felt the need to issue this correction by setting the record straight.  Our reputation in the community is, of course, significant to us.  CompuCycle has been in business for 21 years, and we will always strive to conduct our operations in an environmentally responsible manner.
