R2v3-Certified Facility | Local Pickup from South El Monte | Secure Data Handling | Business-Focused Service
Why businesses work with AEM
Business electronics recycling should be simple, secure, and accountable.
When companies upgrade equipment, close offices, replace devices, or clear out storage areas, they need more than a generic recycler. They need a local partner who can handle retired IT equipment carefully, document the process clearly, and keep projects moving without unnecessary delays.
AEM supports Southern California businesses with IT asset disposition, electronics recycling, logical data erasure, physical destruction options for applicable media, and downstream management for non-reusable equipment.
Core services
IT Asset Disposition (ITAD)
AEM helps businesses remove and process retired IT equipment through documented receiving, serialized tracking, testing, data handling, resale evaluation, and final disposition.
Best for: office upgrades, device refreshes, storage cleanouts, warehouse projects, and recurring business electronics streams.
Secure Data Handling
Data-bearing devices require more than basic disposal. AEM supports logical data erasure workflows, controlled chain of custody, and reporting based on project needs.
Available services may include:
Logical data erasure for eligible devices
Serialized tracking and reporting
Certificates of data wipe, where applicable
Controlled handling for hard drives, phones, and other data-bearing assets
In-house physical destruction options for qualifying media
Business Electronics Recycling
For equipment that cannot be reused or remarketed, AEM manages responsible recycling through qualified downstream partners and documented material flow.
Typical material categories include:
Computers and laptops
Servers and networking equipment
Hard drives and storage devices
Phones and tablets
Peripherals and mixed business electronics
