Electronics Recycling in Sugar Land & Houston
Free electronics recycling drop-off for residents and on-site business pickup across the Greater Houston area. Zero-landfill policy. NIST SP 800-88-aligned data destruction on all devices.
A local e-waste recycling center for Houston
EverTrade is a Sugar Land based e-waste recycling facility serving the Greater Houston area and Fort Bend County. As a local e-waste recycling center, we handle the full path in-house: drop-off and on-site business pickup, sorting and refurbishment, NIST SP 800-88-aligned data destruction, and de-manufacturing down to clean commodity streams. Most items are free to recycle; flat-screen TVs are $20 and CRT (tube) TVs and monitors are $40 because of their leaded glass.
On certification, here is the honest version: EverTrade is not itself R2 or e-Stewards certified. What we do is route every downstream material stream through partners who hold those certifications (R2v3, e-Stewards, ISO 14001), keep a documented chain of custody, and provide weights and records on request. When you compare any certified e-waste recycler, ask exactly where the material ends up downstream; that is what separates a responsible recycler from a middleman.

EverTrade operates a local e-waste recycling facility in Sugar Land serving the Greater Houston area, with free drop-off for most items and on-site business pickup.
Is EverTrade a certified e-waste recycler?
EverTrade is not itself R2 or e-Stewards certified, and we never claim to be. We route downstream material through partners who hold those certifications (R2v3, e-Stewards, ISO 14001), follow NIST SP 800-88 for data destruction, and keep a documented chain of custody. When choosing any e-waste recycler, ask where the material goes downstream and request that documentation.

The best place is a local recycler that takes most items for free, destroys your data, and recycles to a zero-landfill standard.
