These folks are fantastic. I had put off dealing with my old computer -- and they made things so simple that I felt silly for having avoided it for so long. Thank you, eAsset, for making computer disposal and recycling easy and secure!!!! read more

While technological advancement is beneficial for consumers with faster, more powerful, and more feature rich electronic goods being brought to the marketplace, the downside is these shorter refresh cycles are exacerbating the ever growing problem of "e-waste." I would venture to guess that most Americans have some inventory of old MP3 players (iPods being the most likely), laptops/desktop computers, video game consoles, TVs, and increasingly obsolete cell phones. All of this e-waste usually ends up in a junk drawer or in a box stuffed in an attic, basement, or garage "just in case" you might need it in an emergency. Or, you rationalize since you once upon a time spent thousands of dollars on this "stuff," that it might have some financial value in the future; btw, it won't. A few jobs ago, eAsset Solutions came to my workplace to assist with collection and disposal of old computers, monitors, and other peripherals. eAsset is certified to work with government agencies and I was very impressed with the professionalism of the staff and they answered all my questions regarding the safeguards and procedures they utilize to ensure data sanitization from hard drives and finally data destruction by physically shredding the drives. Bonus that eAsset Solutions meticulously strips all of the heavy metals, plastics, circuit boards for responsible recycling, instead of those items ending up in landfills. My first generation i3 laptop from (wait for it)...2010 finally died. I'd been DIY-ing it by adding additional RAM and a SSD, so that it could run up to Win10. But with the new hardware requirements, my old Dell wouldn't take an install of Windows 11. When I upgraded my old platter based HD to a SSD back in 2018, I brought that drive to eAsset for shredding, and I once again took my entire laptop back recently for responsible disposal. Walk in, and explain to the friendly staff person that you want a HD shredded. You can hand them the entire laptop if you don't know how to remove it, and they will perform the extraction for you...included in the price of the HD shredding. After removing the HD, if you want you can walk back to their shredder (an ominous looking device) and watch as the technician "feeds" your HD into a tray, and a few seconds later, you hear the "crunch" of metal on metal, and watch as your HD is reduces to metallic scrap. It's actually very cool! If you want to watch your HD being shredded, I'd call first since some days, there isn't a tech on duty...but rest assured that your HD will be shredded and recycled. And how much is this service? As of this review, it's only $9...not a bad deal at all for piece of mind of knowing that the data on your old computer will not be retrieved by "bad actors," for identity theft or other nefarious intentions. I've used software programs which are supposed to "erase" or "blank" a HD by overwriting it multiple times. But nowadays, hackers and other cyber criminals have such sophisticated tools, that physically shredding a HD is probably the most secure method of data destruction. Note: they also will destroy and recycle old cellphones for $9, but they only perform the data wipe on site, and send the phones off site for recycling. Kudos also to eAsset Solutions for having bins inside and outside the building for dropping off old electronics for recycling (for FREE!); and my technician also mentioned that also accept old DVDs and CDs for recycling. I don't know about anyone else, but I had a few spindles of blank DVDs which have been gathering dust, so I'm glad I was also able to drop them off here. And if you do stop by to either drop off old electronics, or to have something destroyed/recycled, be sure to peruse the vintage "old skool" tech in the lobby. Most folks will gasp in amazement when they see what cell phones used to look like when they were primarily used for making phone calls. read more

I had a great experience with eAsset Solutions. I brought 10 hard drives in after calling and being told it was fine to drop them off during business hours. I wanted them shredded and they all were, including a few heavier and larger hard drives I had saved from decades ago. The website says if you make an appointment you can witness the shredding. That was not important to me and I did not make an appointment but I was pleased to be brought back to the shredding room anyway and see the technician at work. Though I trusted the company it was reassuring to see the hard drives go into the shredder. I paid $10 each for a total of $100. The staff were friendly and easy to work with. read more

I called 10 min prior to arrival saying I had an old car stereo head unit and some cell phones that needed to be recycled. I got there and they had a bin for my head unit and took the phones saying they would wipe them. No cost and SUPER EASY! read more

This is a great group! They all came out to support our lemonade stand today. Great having neighbors like these people. read more

To say that eAsser is a community asset May sound trite, but this local business offers great service on the individual level with respect to recycling old electronics, or buying the odd part for your vintage gaming rigs, to keeping electronics waster out of our landfills on a macro level. I have recycled without a hitch, gotten friendly service when I needed drives destroyed, and then have had stellar service from everyone whom I have encountered when making a purchase from their online store. From individual to corporate recycling and data destruction needs, eAsset has all bases covered and I will continue to patronize their establishment. read more

Very thankful that eAsset Solutions exists in Northern Virginia. They took everything that I wanted to get rid of - old CRT monitors, VHS cassette recorders, VHS cassets, Sony Diskman walkman, Palm Pilot, floppy disks, CD-RW disks, HP Desktop Tower, old Toshiba laptop, external floppy disk drive, external Iomega Zip Drive, Zip disks. eAsset is easy to get to off of US 29 and I-66 in Falls Church. I do wish they were open earlier (like 9 am) and close later (like 7 pm). Yes, they have drop offs, but it's nice to just talk to a person sometimes. I wish they expand and have more locations across the DC area. read more

It may seem unnecessary to rate a business that provides a free service, but they were great. They were helpful when I dropped the stuff off. They have a professional appearance, from their website to their drop-off spot. (I know looks can be deceiving, but they don't appear to be a fly-by-night operation that dumps your e-waste in a poor village in China.) In addition, days later I thought I accidentally dropped off a power cord for my music keyboard. Lauren took time to look for it. When they couldn't find it they were going to offer for me to bring in my keyboard and see if I could find a replacement in what they did have. I embarrassingly realized I still had the cord after all, but their willingness to help was appreciated. read more

What an amazing service! My end-of-life printer was taken off my hands promptly and with a smile. The entire transaction took less than 2 minutes. Echoing another post, I'm thankful for eAsset Solutions services. I'll be baaack! read more

I shopped around for prices & services, and eAsset was the best. I had cell phone memory boards shredded & 9 hard drives degaussed (magnetized). My whole bill was $54. And I was able to drop off a laptop to be recycled (after the tech removed the hard drive). I was allowed to watch all this being done to my IT stuff. The staff patiently answered all my questions. (There is an IT guy there who can retrieve your info even if liquids have been spilled all over your laptop.) This is the second time I have used them, & I would highly recommend this company. read more

Been buying off these guys for the last 3 years, recently we've gone through an upgrade of systems here at the office. Been buying every HP system we could get our hands on by these guys. What they advertise as used, it arrives like it just came off the showroom, spotless, clean and not even a mark on the cases. Just like new. When I buy things off their online store they ask for a best price and whatever I place in as an offer they accept it. Cannot complain for one bit about these guys. Good stuff! read more

I had to phone call them, but they did end up refunding it. I don't think they check their amazon emails which is a problem, but at least they eventually fixed it read more
