What makes GreenCitizen stand out is our commitment to tracking every single item our customers trust us to recycle.
We’ve developed a proprietary tool, the GreenCitizen Total Accountability Management System (GTAMS), to track items with unique asset IDs. The system enables us to monitor and track every item, ensuring that nothing is illegally dumped overseas, preventing harmful environmental and health impacts globally. Additionally, it guarantees a responsible demanufacturing process in the U.S., enabling us to recover valuable raw materials- saving energy and costs in the long run.

Our services include secure data destruction for hard drives, CDs, DVDs, cassettes, floppy disks, and LTO/DAT/AIT/DLT data tapes, guaranteeing your sensitive information is permanently erased with minimal environmental impact.
