​At Ativo, responsible recycling isn't just a service — it's our mission.

All of our recycling processes are carried out 100% within Minnesota. We do not export or import electronic waste, ensuring every item is handled locally and in full compliance with environmental regulations.

We maintain strong partnerships and stay up-to-date with standards through close coordination with:

• Hennepin County Environmental Licensing

• Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)

• U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

By following strict environmental protocols, we guarantee the safe and ethical handling of electronics while protecting sensitive data and the environment.

​

 

No Landfills. No Waste. Just Smart Recycling.

 

 

We go beyond basic disposal. Our team identifies and recovers items that can be remarketed, reused, or repurposed — helping keep valuable materials out of landfills and back into circulation.

This second-hand-first approach fuels the local economy by:

• Supporting small businesses with affordable electronics

• Extending product lifecycles

• Reducing environmental impact
