About us
Veteran brothers who've worked every stage of the asset life cycle
Escape E-Waste is a veteran-owned Texas business run by two brothers. Between us we have more than 20 years of experience in information technology and electronics, supporting K-12 schools, higher education, health care, digital banking, the Department of Defense and industrial operations.
That work covered the full life of a device. We've bought it, set it up, kept it running and retired it without leaving data behind. Our technicians are CompTIA certified, and we treat every drive as sensitive until it has been wiped or destroyed.

ITAD & recycling
Retire old equipment with the data handled first
A retired laptop can still hold student records, patient files or account data. We wipe or destroy every storage device before anything else happens to it. Then we refurbish what still has life and send the rest to e-waste recyclers.
How we destroy data
Method
Degaussing
A strong magnetic field erases hard drives and backup tapes for good. The media can't be used again.
- Best for
- Hard drives and tapes
Method
In-house shredding
Drives and SSDs are shredded in-house, so they never leave our custody in one piece.
- Best for
- SSDs, failed drives and the most sensitive data
Every storage device is logged by serial number, and you get a certificate of destruction for your records.
What we take
- Laptops & Chromebooks
- Desktops & all-in-ones
- Servers & network gear
- Hard drives, SSDs & tapes
- Tablets & phones
- Cables, chargers & peripherals
