Blue Revive provides electronics recycling for Marietta organizations, including aerospace suppliers, healthcare facilities, university and school buildings, and Cobb County offices. We take computers, servers, test and lab equipment, displays, printers, and battery systems, with data-bearing media handled first and a certificate of recycling issued to the client. Projects range from a single building cleanout to a campus-wide retirement. Contact us for a Marietta quote.
Marietta Market Context
Marietta facilities range from aerospace supplier shops to hospital campuses and university buildings, and each generates a different electronics stream: test and measurement equipment, clinical devices, classroom hardware, and office IT. Kennesaw State University sits nearby, and Cobb County government runs its own large facilities.
For EHS and facility managers, that variety makes classification the first job. Test equipment and lab gear may contain batteries or other regulated components, clinical devices may still hold patient data, and classroom equipment often arrives by the pallet. Sorting by route at intake keeps cost and risk in proportion.
Marietta Data Security and Disposal Requirements
Federal waste and data rules
Marietta facilities need classification first, because a single cleanout can hold hospital devices, lab batteries, and office IT. RCRA characterization (TCLP under EPA Method 1311 where a determination is needed) decides whether a material is hazardous waste. Batteries and mercury-containing devices fall under the universal waste rule (40 CFR Part 273), CRT displays under 40 CFR 261.39, and lithium battery shipments under DOT and PHMSA rules for UN3480 and UN3481. Data rules follow devices that stored data: the HIPAA Security Rule (45 CFR 164.310(d)(2)), the FTC Disposal Rule (16 CFR Part 682), GLBA, and PCI DSS by industry, with NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 as the method reference after it replaced Rev. 1 in September 2025.
Georgia requirements
With no statewide e-scrap producer program and no covered-electronics landfill ban, Georgia leaves business electronics to Georgia EPD solid waste rules and Chapter 391-3-11, and local landfills may set their own limits. O.C.G.A. 10-15-2 also covers devices that hold customer records with personal information, requiring the records to be shredded, erased, or made unreadable before disposal. Records support an audit position and do not guarantee compliance. This is not legal advice.
Local considerations in Marietta
Cobb County's solid waste channels and local landfill limits govern residual disposal, so confirm acceptance rules with the county office before any equipment goes out with trash. Hospitals and university campuses also follow internal waste policies, which are worth sharing at scoping so pickups match them.
What Blue Revive Handles in Marietta
The table below shows the recycling route by equipment type.
Items are routed at intake by content and the rules that apply. Secure transport is common, and on-site work can be requested depending on scope and facility rules.
Coverage Around Marietta
Marietta is roughly 40 to 45 miles from Blue Revive's Buford office. Recycling projects here are scheduled by volume, building access, and timeline.
University buildings and hospitals often limit access windows. Semester breaks, clinical schedules, and escort rules are worked out during scoping so collection fits the calendar.

Chain of Custody and Documentation
Each item is logged at intake, and hospital, lab, and office equipment can be tracked as separate groups. A certificate of recycling is issued for the job, with a certificate of destruction for data-bearing media, and downstream accountability is documented. Those records supply inputs for GRI, SASB, CDP, and TCFD reporting. NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 guides data sanitization as a framework and is not a credential. Records support your audit position without guaranteeing compliance. Clinical and lab items are flagged at intake so they follow the right route.
How the Process Works
-
Scope and inventory. Walk each building to count equipment, flag lab, clinical, and battery items, and group them by route.
-
Scheduling and secure transport. Arrange escorted access and dock times, then move equipment by secure transport.
-
Receiving and reconciliation. Sort incoming equipment by group, and separate batteries, displays, and data-bearing items for their own routes.
-
Sanitization or destruction. Sanitize or destroy data-bearing media first, then dismantle what remains for materials recovery.
-
Resale or material recovery. Reuse working equipment where practical and route the remainder to recovery streams.
-
Documentation issued. Deliver the certificate of recycling, any certificate of destruction, and reporting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Blue Revive recycle test and lab equipment in Marietta?
Yes, in scope. Each item is inventoried, anything holding data or batteries is identified, and the route is set per item. Any restrictions from your program or facility are shared at scoping. Contact us with a list of the equipment.
How is hospital electronics recycling handled?
Devices that may hold patient data are flagged at intake and handled for data first, and battery-bearing items follow universal waste and transport rules. The serialized record supports hardware movement accountability under HIPAA. Contact us to review your facility's needs.
What records come with a Marietta recycling job?
A certificate of recycling for the job, a certificate of destruction for data-bearing media, and downstream accountability records, which also supply inputs for GRI, SASB, CDP, and TCFD reporting. Contact us to match the records to your reporting.
Do Cobb County landfills accept business electronics?
Acceptance limits are set by each facility and county, and Georgia has no statewide covered-electronics ban or e-scrap program. Because hazardous components fall under federal waste rules, business electronics should not go out with general trash. Contact us to plan recycling.
