Leading IT asset management and e-recycling company Southeastern Data recently announced an expansion of operations in Palm Beach County. The expansion will create local jobs and a dropoff location for residents and non-businesses to recycle computers, electronics and e-waste.
“The best way to build a local economy is to ensure that home-grown companies like Southeastern Data continue to succeed and grow,” said Michael Stubblebine, president of Southeastern Data. “This expansion creates jobs while allowing organizations in South Florida to successfully manage their assets and keep the community free from added e-waste to landfills.”
Sometimes hazardous e-waste comprises 2 percent of America’s trash in landfills and 70 percent of overall toxic waste.
Southeastern Data also provides its customers with data security services.
“Each customer receives peace of mind when recycling their electronics with us,” Stubblebine said. “We have high standards when it comes to data security and offer mobile and on-site hard drive shredding services that come with 100 percent reliability and a guarantee.”
Southeastern Data offers its e-recycling service to businesses and educational institutions, as well as other retail or manufacturing facilities and government organizations.
Stubblebine said that the company is extending its services to all businesses and organizations throughout South Florida and that, beginning in December, Southeastern Data will accept dropoffs from residents and non-businesses who need computers, laptops or other electronics to be safety and properly recycled.
Recycling is free, but there will be a charge for cathode rayon tube (CRT) televisions and monitors. Anyone interested in e-recycling is asked to call Southeastern Data first to schedule a dropoff time.

The expansion comes on the heels of the recent announcement that the School District of Palm Beach County has awarded Southeastern Data its contract for handling and managing all obsolete, excess or end-of-life computers and electronics from more than 185 schools and numerous ancillary facilities.
“This is a very exciting time for all of us,” Stubblebine said. “We are focused on long-term growth, continued commitment to sustainability, proper electronics and computer recycling, and supporting the communities where we live and work.”
Since 1996, Southeastern Data has been a leader in the e-recycling business with locations in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio and Indiana. The company’s services include computer and electronics recycling, logistics management, data security, mobile hard-drive shredding, asset management and remarketing pre-owned computers and electronics for businesses, government, military, schools and universities, healthcare and manufacturing facilities.
The company is an Environmental Protection Agency-approved recycler and an authorized Microsoft refurbisher.
