New Laurel, Maryland location brings enterprise-grade, secure electronics recycling and on-site data destruction to small and mid-sized organizations long excluded from traditional ITAD infrastructure.

Paladin EnviroTech, a technology-lifecycle partner that helps organizations recycle securely, compliantly, and without losing control of data or valuable materials, today announced the opening of its first Paladin Recycle Local satellite location in Laurel, Maryland. The new site addresses the long-overlooked “last mile” of e-waste recycling—where small and mid-sized organizations generate significant volumes of data-bearing equipment but lack access to secure, enterprise-grade end-of-life infrastructure—closing a critical gap in domestic recovery, security, and accountability.

Paladin Recycle Local is a new network of regional satellite facilities designed to bring secure IT asset disposition (ITAD) and recycling closer to where technology is generated. Organizations retiring equipment often face long transport routes, slow collections, inconsistent service, and rising logistics costs—particularly when volumes fall below the thresholds of enterprise-focused providers. Paladin’s hub-and-satellite model solves this last-mile challenge by enabling local intake, faster service, and standardized handling, while applying the same operating controls, security standards, and reporting across every site. As demand grows, the model allows Paladin to expand coverage quickly without compromising compliance or chain-of-custody.

The Laurel satellite location will provide free pickup and on-site data destruction from day one, with full operational capability launching March 1. It will serve regional and mid-market organizations within a 150-mile radius, including Washington, DC, and Baltimore, key hubs for public-sector organizations and critical materials recovery.

“Small or mid-sized organizations shouldn’t need a truckload of equipment to access secure, compliant e-waste recycling. For years, their smaller volumes have placed them outside the economic focus of most traditional ITAD providers,” said Brian Diesselhorst, CEO of Paladin EnviroTech. “Paladin Recycle Local is built to remove that barrier by providing on-site data destruction, compliant recycling, and clear chain-of-custody, so organizations can retire technology with confidence.”

“Many small and mid-sized organizations don’t have the budget or assurance to securely dispose of electronics at end-of-life,” said Bill Vasquez, Chief Operating Officer of Paladin EnviroTech. “By building local infrastructure, we’re making secure, compliant disposal easier to access so customers can do the right thing for security and for responsible recycling. Our goal is to bring these benefits to local communities across the country.”

By reducing reliance on fragmented regional providers and informal downstream channels, Paladin Recycle Local helps prevent sensitive, data-bearing equipment from leaking into homes, garages, or landfills, while keeping valuable and critical materials within secure, domestic processing pathways.

The Laurel site marks the first step in a broader rollout of Paladin Recycle Local satellite facilities planned throughout the year, forming the foundation of a scalable national footprint for regional and mid-market customers.

Paladin Recycle Local is one of Paladin’s integrated product lines, alongside its secure ITAD and domestic electronics recycling services, ERP and chain-of-custody software platform, and rare earth magnet recovery initiative, REcapture™.
