Reviews of Urban E Recycling

Bernice Jensen

I brought a UPS battery backup for recycling. It's great to know we have a company in Tampa that is available to take care of this type of recycling and that does an amazing job at it.

Kristen Nieves

We've used Urban E-Recycling several times now. They always make it a super easy experience. Convenient pick-up, emails when they are in possession of the materials and a data destruction certificate (and video) at the end of the process. We will most definitely continue to use their services.

CheckAlt Development

I highly recommend Urban E Recycling. They were prompt in responding and scheduling. Came when they were scheduled and the drivers were very professional. Very helpful service as we were closing our office in Tampa and didn't want to just throw out our equipment and now we have the peace of mind that it is being recycled for parts and will continue to be of use.

kellye stuart

I can't say enough about how easy this company is to use. I made an appointment online, I received a text confirmation and an at home pick up with zero complications. I even gave specific instructions on where I would place the computer since I had to run out and they were followed exactly. Later, I received a video of destruction of the data. A+ for Urban E Recycling!

Deborah Masters

Hands down absolutely great company. Schedule a pick-up of two pallets and ended up making three pallets of equipment and they came and took all three without questions asked. Thank you Urban recycle our company is very happy with your business and we will surely keep on doing business with you. I definitely recommend this company to everyone. They definitely accommodate your needs and provide certificates of the damage equipment.

Sheryl Weir

Anyone with electronic waste (old computers, cell phones, hard drives, coaxial cables), I highly recommend this local company. They will come to your home to pick up your old devices. They then recycle what parts they can and shread items with sensitive information. They will send you a VIDEO and list of the items shredded. And it’s all FREE! No charge to you. 🙂👍🏼🇺🇸

Ilene Frank

Urban E Recycling is close to my house, so I drove my small pile of computer-related stuff down there and got to watch them shred my hard drive. So reassuring! Great service!

Amber McGee

I wish I could give them 10 stars! Everyone at Urban E Recycling was sooo nice and helpful! I was able to schedule a next day pick up and the gentleman that did our pick up made it so quick and easy! Hats off to a great company and their great staff!!! Have already recommended them to friends and other offices in our building!

Chris Kenney

Excellent experience with courteous service when I called. Had a number of items that I'd been holding on to not knowing where they could be recycled and Urban E Recycling was able to take those. Picked up very quickly on the day prescribed. I definitely recommend calling them if you have old phones, power cords/ chargers, etc. that you don't know where to recycle.

M. W.

The establishment is well organized and wonderfully put together. The process is thorough and they are very fair with the assessment and the price you are given. Nick was a pleasure to work with and I am now a true fan of the place. I will be back when the time comes to recycle again.

Rachel Prince

Highly recommend Urban E Recycling! Before we found out about them we had been moving an ever growing box of old electronics from house to house for literally years, trying to figure out where to responsibly recycle it. We had ancient iPhone, old wires, batteries, adapters for lost appliances, lightbulbs, etc. I scheduled the pickup online with instructions for the driver to collect from our front porch, labeled the box and left it out, and two days later the driver came and picked it up without even disturbing us. We got an email the same day confirming the pickup, and a certificate a few weeks later confirming that our data had been scrubbed and all the elements recycled. Only wish this company was even larger so I could recommend it to my friends living all over the US:)

Linda Mojer

I couldn't justify a pick up of my small cache of old equipment and phones, but still wanted to re-cycle, so I called to arrange a drop off at the Orlando facility. It was quick, easy, and the friendly tech explained the procedure and took the sad box of dead electronics off my hands. A follow-up email contained the certificate of destruction, along with a link to the crunching video to complete the process. Simple, secure and zero cost - thanks!

Diane Thornberry

This is the fifth year we've used Urban E Recycling during our Clean-up and Clear-out week to pick up electronics and gear throughout our neighborhood, recycle electronics and destroy data, then document the work for the contributors. So easy to work with them, from scheduling pickup, to task completion, this business is absolutely the best - courteous, professional, on-time and follow through. We'll never use any other. And it's free for their services - can't beat that anywhere!

TurboHauler 33

The service here is great! The owner is very honest and very fair and will always treat you correctly. The workers are polite and work hard and you will be taken care of professionally. I wouldn't recommend taking your electronics scrap anywhere else. I've been doing business with the owner and his company for several years now and don't even think about venturing to anywhere else because of the honesty and fairness and the way I'm treated at Urban e recycling. It's a very well put together company. You won't be disappointed. 👍🏻

Amy Micik

My school has used Urban E to recycle literally hundreds of electronics over the past 3 years. Every individual within the company is professional, courteous and knowledgeable. One time I had to reschedule on the same day due to an administrative paperwork oversight (I still feel bad about this) and they were so kind about it. Each person who has come to pick up the electronics for recycling has an amazing attitude and helpful, hardworking demeanor. Countryside Montessori loves Urban E Recycling and would recommend them to any school or business!

Teri Strobel

Great service. I was moving, had to get rid of various electronics, old laptop, old monitor, old entertainment equipment, etc and an old tube TV, those this are a white elephant! But they came and got all my stuff at the scheduled time and certified the hard drive on my old lap top would be destroyed and they gave me a certificate with a video. I couldn't ask for more. Glad I found them because I wasn't going to leave that stuff at the dump. Highly recommend. Thanks guys.

Angela Brooks

Great company to work with. They are efficient and the staff is very friendly. We have used them several times and will continue to use them for our recycling needs.

Robin Burton

Awesome service. This is so much better than waiting for the once-a-year county or city tech recycle day. Right to our door for pickup, on time, certified destruction of hard drives, and I can know the components will be sold or scrapped, supporting the service (so they can keep doing pickup for free) and putting money into the community. Recommended with no reservations whatsoever.

Susan Kmack

Great experience, they came to the house picked up my old computer and 2 printers to dispose of and 2 old keyboards. Sent me a e-receipt, and a video of hard drive being destroyed. I felt I had safely disposed of them. Great company.

Dolly Higgins

A terrific service for anyone or any business! We had dozens of old unusable computers. Previously we would have to remove the drives and destroy them ourselves (it's a lot of work!) and send the remains to recycling. But Urban makes it painless and secure. I highly recommend them!

Tammy Youngman

Great experience. Made an online appointment for pickup. Well documented from pickup to disposal including a disposal video. Years worth of old hard drives, laptops and phones. Highly recommend!

Cameron Davis

Fantastic service, so glad my team and I use them for recycling our old electronics! Great customer service and fast processing. Will keep using for the future

Marnie Jones

First time user. Fantastic service. Schedule pick up appointment online. They showed up on time, employee was very professional and explained the process to me. Two days later I'm watching the video of the shredding. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

Lynn Farrell

In our line of work, our customers already have a desire to recycle and when their laser printers or MFP's have dead they want to make sure the plastics and metals are recycled and hard drive destroyed properly. We recommend Recycling Rescue to all our customers. They are prompt & courteous too.

VSS TEAM

Awesome people, could not be nicer. Just like everyone else says on here they are really helpful. I dropped off my stuff but they will come pick up for free. This is an independent, local company, great to see and wish them continued success.

Scott C Wilson

Amazing service - not only is it free, they even pick up your unwanted electronics. PLUS you are helping the environment because rather than dumping e-waste into landfills they are recycling it. Win-win-win. Thanks Urban E Recycling Team!

Jeanmarie Bellande

Great customer experience Satisfaction! Great Professionalism for the almost a decade that i have been doing with This Business. The Reference of Electronics Recycling business in Tampabay area.

Alexandria Millick

I am so happy we discovered this place. We had several electronics laying around that we weren't sure what to do with or how to dispose of properly. I scheduled a time for them to come out and they promptly showed up and took care of our box of electronics. The best part is they also dispose any hard drives and provide proof it was destroyed. These guys made the entire process seamless. Highly recommend and good way to be environmently friendly. Thanks again!

Dar Fab

If you ever need to recycle, this is the place to call. They are fast, prompt and very friendly. I use them all the time. I highly recommend their services and it's FREE!

Ryan Lynge

Stopped by to see if they could recycle 3 computers. They were very nice and professional. I was able to watch them shred my hard drives which really put me at ease. I definately recommend their services. Plus did I mention its free!!!

Linda Robins

For months I tried to figure out what (and how) to get rid of all the electronics piled up around my house and especially in my garage. I found the solution here. Great experience for response time and pick up. Thanks, I'll be calling again and recommending you to everyone.

Michele Young

This is a fantastic company. The customer service they provide is hard to come by. They come to your home to pick up your items, send you a document that the items have changed hands, and send you a video to show your items being shredded (if that is what you needed.) Amazing! Plus it is all FREE and helps save the environment. I would HIGHLY recommend Urban E Recycling!!

Brad Mason

I set up the pick up time online. The company was there when they said. They gave me a certificate showing that the information would be destroyed. Then followed up with an email later. Excellent service and communication!

Savanna B.

I scheduled a pick up online and they came out the next day to pick up my old computers, cables, and monitors. I received my certificate and data destruction video a week later. The whole process was very easy and convenient. Will definitely use this company again when recycling electronics in the future!

Y. U. Madd

Recently took a pile a hard drives to be shredded. Everyone we dealt with was very friendly and the process couldn't have been any easier. They let us watch the shredding and it only took a few minutes. Will return in the future and will definitely recommend to others.

robert kirk

Great place, great service. Took the hard drive out of the computer right in front of me, and then let me watch as they threw it into the grinder. They take any modern electronic device. Highly recommend taking your unwanted items there instead of putting them in a land fill.

Valerie Larson

Highest caliber of professionals that say what they do, do what they say and help Earth. Tour their facility, you will be VERY impressed! They are now my "go to" company for electronic recycle needs.

Cheryl Gault

It was a wonderful experience with Urban Recycling. The friendly staff member on the phone was so helpful in the scheduling of the pick up. The driver was on time as scheduled and very friendly. The certificate came the very next day by e-mail as promised. I will definitely be calling them again when I need something picked up for recycle.

Greg Christopher

I just used them yesterday. They gave me next day service, the driver was an extremely nice guy. I got my certificates the next day and an itemized inventory. I didn't get this good of service using paid recycling companies. Fantastic job guys!

Jennifer D Burrell

In the middle of renovations of my house, French was very accommodating. Friendly and communicative throughout the whole, quick, free service. Thank you! You will be recommended for sure.

Megan Chan

I wish I had known about this service earlier. They come pick up your old electronics for free. I had an old PC taking up space for years. They took it for me and even destroyed the hard drive. And they sent me a video of it being destroyed along with a certificate! Super cool!

Craig Ruska

Excellent service. Highly professional. Easy process. Highly recommend for those purging electronics in general, or moving away and looking for a trusted and easy service.

Kelly V.

So convenient. They come pick up your stuff and send multiple communications regarding destruction of sensitive PPI. Highly recommend. Driver was masked up ad well. Will use again.

danielle gilbert

Very Fast and Friendly! Called for a pick up for one of our dealership locations and they were out in a flash. Picked up everything and sent me the video of all the hard drives get shredded! Great Company!

Jolenemb74

I had four old business computers that I wasn’t sure of how to properly get rid of. I found this company on Google and went to their website. It was clean and easy to use. I scheduled an appointment online for them to pick up my electronics. They showed up, on time, and not only was on time but extremely professional and very friendly. I was explained what would happen with the computers and they would show proof of destruction via video a few days later. The video came, as promised. I would definitely recommend this company! And best of all, they removed that stress from me with ZERO out of cost to me.

Amber Morris

Fantastic company! The level of professionalism and care the employees have is amazing. They are knowledgeable and want to ensure they are in compliance with your company regulations when shredding computer equipment and hard drives. I would highly recommend this company of all of your recycle needs.

Dan Gysel

Too good to be true? Nope, scheduled a same day pick up and they picked up a small amount of outdated electronics we needed to recycle for free. FOR FREE! Great service, we will be using them again.

Daniel Vincent

They did a community free pick up event for electronics. Very efficient and provided a certificate of data destruction, all free of change. Great community service!

Cheryl Brady

Excellent service from scheduling through pick up and follow up afterwards. Professional, pleasant and wonderful caretaker of our environment. Thank you.

Donna Gifun

A lot of the reviews are from businesses, so I double checked before setting a pickup at home for a laptop and cell phone. Setting the pickup was easy, and I just left them in a box outside that day. They exchanged a business card for the box, sent a confirmation email, and then a video of the hard drive being destroyed, along with most of the phone. Convenient, safe, environmentally friendly way to dispose of old electronics--thanks guys!

Jessica VanTuinen

What a great service. Staff was friendly and prompt. I would use them again and would highly recommend them to others.

Joe Wathey

Great experience. What more can you ask for. They let you schedule an appointment, come to your house, pick up all your equipment and destroy your hard drives and back it up with a written certificate. All at no cost. Our pick up driver was Dean. He was very friendly and took the time to explain all the details. Will use this company again for sure. Thanks for everything.

Cathy Renwick

Friendly people. Great service. What fun to watch my computer hard drives completely destroyed in front of my eyes ... and for FREE! Now I know where to go to recycle all of my electronics.

Carrie Humke

Great peace of mind that our data was destroyed properly. Great job and at a huge cost savings. Ya can't beat FREE!

Annette Hillring

Amazing service and so convenient! And good to know things will be recycled!

Racer Joe

Very friendly. Took my stuff to them and they were great to deal with. Talked to them and heard they were locally owned, much props to them and wish them success. Use these guys and keep the crap out of landfills.

Hank Hawkins

Urban Recycling has a very informative website, answers the phone right away, is very pleasant, and is very accommodative in their pickup of recyclable items. And there is no charge for the service!

Amy Parr

Quick and easy, sent video after of the data destruction. Love that they picked up all my old junk.

Eogogics Inc

Given the rampant identity thefts, secure data destruction is important. Urban Recycling shreds hard disks, thumb drives, smartphones, etc. at no charge. They provide a video of your stuff being shredded and a certificate of destruction. Responsive customer service as well. Nice people! Keep up the good work!!

Clarissa Grose

Being THRILLED with this company is an understatement!!! I am a recycle freak, but had no idea what to do with my old electronics and appliances. From the first time I contacted Urban Recycling, they were more than helpful and extremely friendly! From the owner and office manager Greg and Gina, to the hard working operator Devin, we could not be more pleased with how easy and stress-free this process was, especially with FREE pick up. Thank you Urban Recycling... we will stay in touch and pass the word!

Angel C

Great service! Easy scheduling and fast pick up. Then a week later received a video of my devices being crushed.

Rebekah Wilkins

Similar to other reviews, I had an old computer taking up space in my closets. I called around to see if I could sell the computer but most places said it was too old and would only be worth a few dollars (less than the amount of time I think it would take to drive it to these places). I asked a friend in IT about a solution and he recommended Urban E Recycling. The process to schedule a pick up was easy, the pick up was on time, quick and painless. I was so relieved to find a solution like this! Thanks, guys!!

Rick Alford

They came by at the time they said the would. The communication was excellent. I'm very impressed with Urban E Recycling

Van Diekon

Very friendly and easy to work with. Job was completed in a very timely manor for the amount of equipment we recycled.

Rob S

Dropped off some old laptops for recycling and hard drives to be shred. Friendly people and it was free of charge. This place is recommended.

Malena Watson

Absolutely great! The guys were professional and quick. They explained the process and answered all of our questions. I would highly recommend them!

Giorgio Bazzigaluppi

Shredded hard drives in front of me and will scrap everything from plastic to gold to prevent it from going to a landfill. Staff explains every step and will answer all questions!

Richard Hubbard

We partnered with Urban to dispose a bunch of old customer computers that we require proper disposal of for the sake of hard drive security. These guys provided a close up shot of EVERY DRIVE, with the the serial number of every drive clearly exposed as they shredded the drives! Just wow! Way above expectation. and what a blast to watch these devices get shredded. Nice work and way beyond expectation. thank you!

Debra Arze

FANTASTIC - FREE Service...!! That you so much for the great service Nick. You made it SO EASY for me and the destruction of my half dozen external hard drives. I HIGHLY recommend. ThanX again...

Shawn Chastain

This is a Great FREE Service. Many companies charge for these same services. They actually came by my house the same day I called and picked up my old outdated and broken computers. They provided a video showing the final complete destruction of my old hard drives along with a certificate documenting all of the serial numbers of the drives. I highly recommend giving them a call to recycle your outdated or broken computers & electronic devices.

Patricia Rudden

It was so easy. Urban E Recycling picked up the multiple electronics from our house. Next the Certificate of Data Destruction arrived in our email. The closet has more space and I have peace of mind.

Devin Beverage

Urban E Recycling is a godsend for those who love their tech. and new gadgets, but want to be ethical about it! I looked for a place to recycle many bins full of old keyboards and mice, defunct power cords and connectors, chargers to long-lost doodads, etc. Luckily, there’s a company out there that takes all of that stuff and recycles it for FREE. Enter, Urban E! I’ve visited this place several times. If it’s your first time there and you’re using Google Maps, just be aware that where it tells you to turn into the warehouse complex at the very last leg of the route -- don’t. If you do you end up in a compound or courtyard-like space surrounded by warehouse and garage-style doors. The front entrance of Urban E is right near the entrance, but this isn’t where you want to be. You want to pull out back, where the garage doors are open and ready for you to cart in your old electronics and tech. -- with a lot of help, of course. When you have a hard drive that needs destroying... You just might get to watch it -- there’s an epic little machine that does it, with a window to show you the carnage. Pretty cool stuff - I actually took a video. If you don’t have time to stick around and watch but want assurance, they’ll send you a certificate of destruction. I’ve brought all kinds of stuff here - old handheld games, dvd players, computer components, cords of all kinds -- even an old coffeemaker. The only thing that I’ve tried to bring here that they don’t take is CRT monitors and TVs. But they WILL tell you where you can take them -- and they’re tough to get rid of, so that’s really helpful. Do it! The Earth is worth it, plus it’ll make you feel good.

Beth Myers

I had accumulated several items over the years - laptops, tower CPUs, old PDAs and phones - and fretted over what to do with them, paranoid about ID theft, etc. I found Urban E Recycling through a Google search, and called. Being so paranoid, I didn't want a pickup, I wanted to see the shredding myself. I called and was told to come in, they'll do it while I watch. I had multiple devices and wondered how long that would take and was told it would be quick! And it was! I drove up and someone on their loading dock helped me unload, wheeled my devices to their shred area and they disassembled my devices and shredded the hard drives in front of me in a few minutes. Amazing! Thank you! Oh, and I remembered after driving off I had a shoe box of old floppies and discs and had forgotten to ask them to shred them. I zoomed back and they stopped what they were doing to look for the box and found it and promptly shredded. I am so glad they can safely destroy these devices and recycle the materials - it is a win-win and I am appreciative of them as a business and of their great service!!! Thank you!!

Orthotechnology Inc

Excellent Job. Took 4 pallets of electronics. D.O.D. standard HDD wipe . Very Impressed. Will use again.

Michael Nelson

Quick service as usual! Staff was more than helpful in all aspects of the recycling business and customer care. New location is very well organized and alot larger. Prices for escrap are higher than most of the local scrap yards. Staff is both freindly and knowledgeable in their jobs. Any questions or issues are answered and handled with efficiency. Thanks again Greg and crew!

Adrian Veselinovic

Amazing Service!! Best place to recycle old electronics and scrap hassle free!!! Daniel , the owner, is extremely knowledgable in his field and has tremendous customer service!

S Chen

I drove across town to this facility based on their reviews and was not disappointed. I was greeted by friendly employees who allowed me to watch my hard drive and zip drives get shredded for free. I bypassed other e-recyclers closer to my home who charge for shredding and their shredder is often in disrepair. Urban E rocks!

Terry Weihoneig

I have used this service three times in the past few years and I could not be more pleased with the service. I would recommend this to all.

Jane Mendola

Holy Moly. Seeing all the data destruction of my old laptops and tablets was amazing. Thanks so much!

Immortal Myrddin

Fantastic Service - They pick up the equipment, and provide a certificate confirming the device has been destroyed. Including a video displaying the drive being destroyed.

Josh Gude

Amazing company. Scheduled a pick up for 2 monitors, an old iPad and an old iPhone. They showed up right on time within the given window, picked up the items and sent out a short video of them destroying the iPad and iPhone - making sure you know your potentially sensitive data is protected. What an amazing service that makes responsibly getting rid of your e-waste as easy as possible.

Jamal Hussamy

They were true to their appointment, very freindly staff on the phone and in person.I highly recommend them to all.

Jane Haughney

Pick up service was prompt, efficient and friendly. When I appeared at the office with hard drives, Urban E Recycling immediately shredded the hard drives while I watched. I recommend Urban E Recycling.

Kristy Cordova

Quick pick up & certification was emailed promptly. Highly recommend!

Elmer Deloso

I wish all companies are like this. The management and staff are to be commended for their great service.

Edith Tidwell

Awesome people, could not be nicer and they come and pick up.

Misty D.R. Ross

Used them many times and never had an issue. Great company!!

Charlotte Greenbarg

Really good service, doing a valuable job for our environment

David Fairman

I really like the service that they do. That being said here are ways that they can improve. 1. Someone needs to be answering the phone, not an answering machine. I called for two days and got nothing but a message and no return call. I finally called the Lakeland division and got some response. 2. Better scheduling. Once I got a return call I was told that someone would be there between 1 and 1:30, at 2:00 I called and got an answering machine again but at 2:30 someone finally came to my shop. Again, I like the service that they do. I hope to see them fix the following situations.

Mike Hoagland

We have used them 3 times now and they are great!! Pickup yesterday at 11AM and I've already gotten my certificate before 10AM this morning! Justin was a gentleman and a pro too!

Mary Pothier

Great service. Nick and Charles were very helpful.

William Smith

Devin came by today and was extremely professional and very cordial. I've trying to figure out what to do with all my old laptops for years. Not to mention when I met my wife we basically combined our old laptops and copiers. I set the appointment up online and they showed up (which is a plus in Tampa area). They also took my old smoke detectors as well. I'll be looking around the house for other items that I need properly turned in and they'll be the first company I'll call.

James Aguillard

They show up and take your electronic recycle at no charge, will even destroy hard-drives and send you a video.

Chris Wells

Great company and concept! Would highly recommend.

Amit Patel

Florida State Fairgrounds was in need of a recycle program with safe destruct of unwanted dated equipment. Urban Recycle did a fantastic job of collect and destroy with paperwork and video records. Everyone I worked with is friendly and accommodating. Thank you so much. IT Manager Florida State Fairgrounds

Scott Farriss

Awesome service, quick scheduling, quick pickup. Peace of mind.

Lisa Spears

did a great job. friendly on time smiling face.

Sally Ann Quinn

This outfit deserves a commendation from the City of Tampa. They are trustworthy, thorough, professional and friendly. Amazingly, their services are completely free.

Richard Sierra

The people at Urban e-Recycling are amazing. I work for Secure Network Services, a local IT company based in Polk County and we have been recommending Urban e-Recycling to all of our clients and they have impressed every single one. They provide an amazing service and have been an invaluable resource. We will continue to use Urban e-Recycling for all recycling services and wish them continued growth. Special thanks to Dean in the Lakeland Florida location!
