NATIONAL COVERAGE
Our corporate facility and main processing plant is located in Philadelphia, with support and processing centers located coast-to-coast nationwide via our certified alliance groups. We can help you recycle from anywhere in the United states.
DEMANUFACTURING
Our 100,000 square foot facility is located in the Grays Ferry section of Philadelphia and we are one of only a handful of DEP approved demanufacturing facilities. Demanufacturing provides the highest level of reclamation of valuable metals and avoidance of landfilling. Although shredding has become more popular in the electronic recycling industry, the risk for contamination of materials is much higher and figures estimate that as much as 30% of the end product cannot be reclaimed. Shredding is popular due to the sheer volume of material that can be handled and generally produces "fluff", which is composed of dirt, glass, rubber and plastics, and is landfilled. Finally, shredding also produces airborne debris that can be harmful to employee's health. Conversely, demanufacturing processes assure materials are separated to produce the highest environmental and economical value and concentrates exclusively on the recovery of raw materials for use in domestic manufacturing. This process greatly helps in the reduction of mining of raw materials. eForce Compliance maintains zero commingling of materials and zero contamination. Our processes also produce a huge economic value: the creation of sustainable and local jobs. eForce Compliance employs the service of certified local material processing companies, thus further adding to job creation in the local metro-Philadelphia economy.
REMARKETING
Advances in technology have created a surplus of electronic equipment with varying degrees of desirability. Global demand for functioning electronic equipment has been strong, but these markets demand newer technology. Key factors affecting the resale value of a system in today's marketplace are age, condition, brand and capabilities. Eforce utilizes our global trading network to access buyers and identify the best remarketing opportunities for your equipment and we maintain a retail showroom of refurbished PC's which enables our company to consistently obtain the highest market value for resale.
Data removal prior to resale
The most critical step in the remarketing process is the removal of data and sanitization of the unit. Prior to remarketing, systems are tested and sanitized in our lab. Eforce assures that each unit that is designated for resale is properly licensed, thus reducing any liability associated with transfer of ownership. Eforce secure erasure processes are in strict accordance with U.S. Dept. of Defense 5220.22-M standards. If security requirements require a greater level of defense, drives can be removed and destroyed according to NSA standards, providing the highest level of data protection.

FLUORESCENT BULB RECYCLING
Fluorescent bulbs are the most commonly types of bulbs generated by facilities. Typical lengths are 4 and 8 foot, with u-tube bulbs also in the mix. Lamp waste causes more mercury contamination of the environment than any other consumer product and must be handled with respect to the damaging effects improper disposal causes.
Types of lamps
Fluorescent Shipping
Fluorescent Labeling
Most fluorescent lighting fixtures contain a ballast, an electronic device inside the fixture that regulates the flow of electricity to the bulbs. Ballasts come in all shapes, sizes, types and weights. PCB and DEHP ballasts, also known as wet ballasts, are considered hazardous waste, non-PCB ballasts, known as dry ballasts, can be recycled. Typically, ballast have labeling identifying their type.
Types of ballast
Ballast Shipping
Ballast Labeling - Each drum should be labeled as PCB or NON-PCB ballasts. PCB ballasts must be labeled in accordance with EPA regulatory requirements. Improper packaging will result in additional handling charges.
Types of lamps
Fluorescent Shipping
- Package lamps tightly without separators or any other packaging materials.
- Package lamps in OEM boxes or boxes provided by eForce.
- Place partially filled boxes on top of the pallet.
- Mark each container with an accumulation date (lamps must be shipped within one year of that date).
- Keep lamps and boxes dry.
- Empty boxes of all packing materials before refilling.
- Secure boxes by shrink-wrapping directly to the pallet.
- Lamp packages contain all lamps of identical length.
Fluorescent Labeling
- Each lamp container must be labeled, "Used Mercury Lamps for Recycling" or "Universal Waste Mercury Lamps."
- For your convenience, download labels that fulfill the requirement.

Types of ballast
Ballast Shipping
- If ballast cannot be positively identified as non-PCB, it should be considered PCB.
- Intact, non-leaking PCB ballasts must be shipped in a USDOT PG III approved approved poly pail, poly drum or steel drum. with a secured lid (49 CFR Part 178.504) The USDOT maximum drum weight allowance is 882 lbs.
- PCB or NON-PCB ballasts should be separated according to type.
- Leaking PCB ballasts must be double-bagged and placed in a USDOT PG III authorized drum containing at least 3 inches of vermiculite. These ballasts are considered hazardous waste and must be packaged, marked and shipped (manifested) in compliance with applicable TSCA hazardous waste regulations.
