Our purpose is repurpose.

We repurpose, recycle, or refurbish all collected eWaste, saving them from our local landfills, recovering raw critical materials for the circular economy, and extending the product lifecycle of devices. What started as a backyard hobby quickly turned into the first computer & electronics recycling company in Franklin, TN (previously named Franklin eWaste). With the love and support from our hometown, we gained tremendous traction, hired local help and grew into the country’s very first mid-market eWaste franchises! Y’all did that!!

Locally owned. Community driven.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Change starts on a local level and it doesn’t get more local than this.

    “Working with City eWaste was nothing short of amazing. Their team was professional, dedicated, and really knew their stuff. Together, we kept over a ton of electronic waste out of landfills, showing just how much good we can do when a community comes together. City eWaste is truly committed to dealing with eWaste the right way, and we can't wait to keep partnering with them to make an even bigger difference. If you're looking to get involved in eWaste recycling that really works, I highly recommend City eWaste.”

  • Belmont-Hillsboro Neighborhood Recycle Day

    May 2024 | Nashville, TN

    “Working with City eWaste was a pleasure and a success, from start to finish. Erin and Rizqina were exceedingly responsive and helpful. From scheduling to helping with outreach to staffing the event with smiling, knowledgeable people, they showed they really care about their mission. As a commissioner and community project manager, I have experience working with many recyclers and can say that City eWaste ranks at the very top. With over 200 drivers showing up, we recycled two tons of eWaste in a single morning.”

OUR FOUNDER

This is Matthew. Matthew is smart. Matthew cares about the planet and about making it easy for you to care as well.

“I’m a 7th generation Franklinite putting my passion for reducing waste into action. Change starts on a local level and it doesn't get more local than our first City eWaste location in my home town of Franklin, TN. Reducing waste and growing business models around waste streams have been huge passions in my life. Taking part in eWaste recycling on a local level helps me connect with neighbors and local businesses to help reduce toxic eWaste and keep hazardous material out of our water and soil. Now, I’ve expanded that model for new markets and it’s all because of your support.”

How does it work?

Every electronic produced is a conglomeration of valuable commodities. You drop off a laptop charger, we crack the case and recycle the copper & aluminum on the boards for profit. Like a magic trick, it’s no longer cluttering your drawer.

Easy as 1-2-3

Source, Sort & Sell. Easy as that. Everything that comes through the door can be repurposed or recycled. The small amount of plastics that accompany electronics is thrown out, but all the metals are resold to the market to make new things.
