Who We Are
We set out to make the
right thing the easy thing.
We’re a local team with a big belief: recycling your old tech shouldn’t feel impossible. TechBack was created to make things easier, safer, and a lot more human. Giving homes and businesses of all sizes a simple, responsible way to protect our planet from e-waste.
Our Hero Origin Story
For decades, we worked alongside some of the world’s biggest technology companies helping bring new devices to market for brands like Microsoft, Dell, Lenovo, HP, and Samsung. Eventually, we started asking a question there was no easy answer for: what happens to the billions of devices being replaced?
Not just environmentally. But securely. Because electronics don’t just contain metal and plastic. They store financial records, health information, company data, family photos, and entire lives.
The deeper we looked, the more broken the system felt: responsible recycling was confusing, expensive, or risky. And dozens of companies we worked with were storing outdated technology in closets and back rooms, keeping valuable resources out of circulation.
It didn’t sit right with us. So we decided to build a better way. A smarter, more approachable solution that makes secure, zero-landfill electronics recycling accessible. One that protects data as carefully as it protects the planet.
That became TechBack.
Today, we help businesses and our community responsibly retire old technology through secure data destruction, transparent downstream recycling, and a process designed to feel simple, human, and trustworthy from start to finish.
Let us make sure your old tech does some good on its way out.
Tech shouldn’t just have a second life, it should help plant a new one.

Sasha
TechBack CEO
Raised in the world of global IT, Sasha learned early on how critical data security is and how often it’s overlooked. After decades as a consultant for some of the world’s tech giants, she wanted to tackle another problem close to her heart: e-waste. Shocked at the inaccessibility of the industry, the Accessible Recycling model was born.
George
TechBack COO
George spent 20+ years as an executive creative director, solving complex brand challenges for global companies. When he saw how often businesses were forced to store old devices instead of recycling them securely, he knew there was a smarter, better way. And a much more human one. So he assembled a team with a passion for recycling and helping others with a smile. Working to bring free, secure recycling across Onondaga County.
