The Technology Recycling Group is one of the latest Cincinnati area companies to expand and move into a new, larger space.
The company recycles electronic waste (e-waste) including computers, monitors, hard drives, televisions and light bulbs. The business has an environmentally friendly business model, vowing to recycle 99 percent of the materials and products they receive. Those products are either refurbished, harvested for reuse or resell, or used to make other products.
Carol Weinstein, CFO and co-owner, said the company has hired seven temp workers since moving but plans to create 25 new, permanent jobs.
The Certified Woman-Owned Corporation, previously based in St. Bernard, moved May 8 to a 100,000 sq. ft. building at 11093 Kenwood Road, Building 7 in Blue Ash. They’ve also changed the company's name to
2trg.
“The time-consuming jobs of new technology and infrastructure cabling deployment along with the removal and recycling of old technology can be expertly handled by a single vendor. Now you can adapt to new technology as quickly as it changes and help protect the environment through one source, 2trg,” said Stuart Shafer, 2trg Chief Client Officer.
2trg has a second facility in Louisville, Ky., and a technology deployment group National Technology Resource Group.
“2trg is fully committed to secure data eradication and destruction methods and legally compliant recycling efforts for e-waste,” said 2trg Chief Executive Officer Elli Workum. “Our processes for picking up your equipment, destroying your data, and recycling the hardware meet or exceed the stringent requirements by Fortune 500 companies and the EPA.”
It’s only one of 10 companies worldwide, and two in the nation, that have the “
CRT Angel,” a top-rated cathode ray tube disposal machine. Cathode ray tubes, among other things, are part of what generate television and computer screen pictures.
“Partnering with us assures your executives that data won’t get into the wrong hands and a public relations nightmare won’t happen, since we abide by a zero-landfill policy and also refuse to ship e-waste to undeveloped countries,” said Workum said.
Weinstein said the new disposal machine and increased consumer awareness of the need to properly dispose of electronics are driving 2trg’s growth.
