Product Destruction
Documented, Witnessed, Recycled
Product destruction is the secure, documented destruction of defective, expired, recalled, or counterfeit goods to prevent them from re-entering the market. Recycling Quotes provides witnessed product destruction with video documentation, Certificates of Destruction, and recycling of salvageable materials.
Products Destroyed. Brand Protected. Materials Recovered.
Some products can't be donated, returned, or resold. Recalled consumer goods, expired food and pharmaceuticals, defective merchandise, counterfeit seizures, and overstock branded products all need to be destroyed in a way that's documented, verified, and prevents any possibility of diversion back into the market.
Recycling Quotes provides controlled product destruction with full chain-of-custody documentation from your warehouse to our destruction facility. We offer mechanical shredding, crushing, and disassembly depending on the product type. Every job includes video documentation of the destruction process and a Certificate of Destruction with itemized inventory.
After destruction, we maximize material recovery. Metals, plastics, and paper packaging are sorted and recycled. Electronic components go through our e-waste program. Only truly non-recyclable material goes to landfill. This means your brand-protection destruction also generates recycling documentation for your sustainability reports.
