HOW WE WORK
PAR RecycleWorks is a nonprofit electronics recycler providing transitional employment, job skill training and permanent job placement to people returning from prison.
PAR RecycleWorks is Greater Philadelphia’s premier e-waste recycler — trusted by more than 400 businesses, institutions and government agencies.
We help organizations from Fortune 500 companies to universities, municipalities and pro sports teams recycle their e-waste with uncompromising data security, efficient service and cost-effective solutions. Every device we process also funds something bigger: job training and a pathway to sustainable employment for justice-impacted individuals.
Environmental responsibility and social impact — one mission, executed to the highest industry standard.
PAR RecycleWorks places the highest importance on data protection, and is the only nonprofit recycler certified to both accredited R2 and RIOS standards. Every device we recycle is held to the strictest codes of privacy and discretion, with the highest standards of data security.
While recycling electronics, PAR RecycleWorks restores lives. We exclusively hire justice-impacted individuals, providing training in digital and financial literacy to create concrete pathways to long-term, sustainable employment. Every piece of e-waste we recycle helps fund a workforce development model that transforms lives.
Recycle Your E-Waste
We work hard to make recycling easy. From institutional IT overhauls to the old laptop collecting dust in the basement, PAR RecycleWorks provides a way for everyone to contribute to a more sustainable future and a stronger workforce.
Community Recycling Events – Since 2016, PAR has hosted large-scale community e-waste recycling events throughout the Philadelphia area with townships, neighborhood associations, schools, and institutions.
Individual Drop-offs or Pick-ups – PAR welcomes your direct personal donations of end-of-life electronics. PAR will provide a tax receipt for your in-kind donations.
