Profile - About Us
Suburban
Miners is an artesian eWaste recycling facility
where everything is done by hand rather than large
machinery using large amounts of fossil fuels. We
are a Tucson family owned business that began recycling
in 2007. It is now our 5th year and we are growing
very fast. Our comprehensive no cost recycling programs
have been a big hit and we are now proud to be servicing
thousands of customers from all over Arizona and
all over the United States through our mail-in programs.
We
believe less is more
Our
forklifts and tools run from electricity and natural
gas rather than diesel fuel. Our sorting line is
human powered and our facility is completely indoors
creating a safer and cleaner environment for our
customers to be in. We walk the walk. In 2010 our
average electricity bill was under $70/month and
sometimes as low as $50!
We
protect the environment, not destroy it
In
other recycling centers one encounters large diesel
machinery, oil constantly being spilled into the
ground from scrap vehicles, large equipment and
from scrap metal that leaks various contaminants.
When it rains onto an outdoor scrap yard, much of
these contaminants are carried into the ground polluting
our ground water. The pollutants are carried into
the air when the wind kicks up dust and they are
carried into the lungs and skin of the employees
and customers on a daily basis potentially reducing
their health and life span.
We
are cleaner.
At
our facility there is no dust pollution, no rain
water pollution and no risk to our customers health.
Our indoor facilities create a much safer and cleaner
environment than is possible with an outdoor facility.
At our indoor facility any spill is immediately
cleaned up and properly disposed of in an environmentally
safe way, not left on the ground as a normal course
of business.
We
reduce crime and drug use, not encourage it
We
do not buy metal from the public because we have
seen from first hand experience how it supports
a rise in petty crime and a rise in methamphetamine
and other drug use which leads to a negative impact
on the cities residents and environment overall.
It
is an unfortunate fact that many people use recycling
proceeds to support meth and crack cocaine habits
and this leads to theft of all sorts of things from
city infrastructure to home and business air conditioning
units, copper pipe, electrical wire and brass backflow
preventers. Theft of this nature puts very heavy
financial burdens on the victims and their businesses
and this is bad for Arizona overall.

Suburban
Miners's Data Reinspect procedure gives Suburban
Miner's clients an additional level of security.
All equipment received at our facility is carefully
inspected for the presence of data-containing media.
If media not previously identified by the client
is located, we immediately notify our point of contact
with a complete description of the media, and upon
direction, either return or destroy the media.
RE-USE
Before RE-CYCLE
Suburban
Miners believes in re-use over recycling. If an
item has any value at all and is still in working
condition, or can be repaired easily, we strive
to place it back into use rather than destroy it
for recycling. With that in mind we sell items through
Ebay and direct to the public when possible. We
sell computers and equipment at low prices to encourage
a steady flow of sales. We have many artists, construction
contractors and computer oriented customers who
like to explore our facility for materials and products.
We sell metal just above scrap price by the pound.
Committed
to do the right thing:
We are happy to work free of charge with non profit
groups, schools, churches, committees and charities
to raise awareness, educate and/or consult in our
area of expertise.
No

Our
goal is to exceed U.S. EPA standards for solid waste
recycling, and we proudly adhere to a no-landfill
policy for eWaste. We are also against illegal exporting
of eWaste and strive to work with companies who
share in our philosophy.
Suburban
Miners complies with all applicable federal, state,
and local environmental laws and regulations, including
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
