R2 (Responsible Recycling) certification is a globally recognized standard for electronics recycling. It ensures that recyclers follow strict protocols for environmental responsibility, data security, and downstream vendor management. At ROC Telecom, our R2 certification means your equipment is handled safely, securely, and in full compliance with the industry’s highest standards.

Yes. Whether your equipment is fully installed or already broken down, we’ll handle pickup from anywhere in Texas.

Each shipment is inspected by a certified data security expert. Sensitive materials are kept in a secure, restricted-access facility under 24/7 surveillance and are physically destroyed by shredding — not just wiped.

Absolutely. We provide printed certificates for data destruction and responsible recycling, along with full chain-of-custody documentation.
