At the heart of our operations lies a specialized focus on Electronic Scrap (E-Scrap), where our cutting-edge processing systems meticulously dismantle electronic components. Our custom-designed shred and separation equipment ensures a refined process, producing by-products that serve as invaluable raw material feedstock for various mills and smelters.

Yet, our offerings extend beyond recycling—Colt stands as a comprehensive solution provider with robust asset recovery and ITAD services. Through serialized audits, meticulous inventory management, rigorous testing, and strategic remarketing strategies, we ensure that every piece of received equipment is managed with precision and care.

Security is our paramount concern, fortified by a comprehensive system of keycard access controls, high-resolution surveillance cameras, metal detection scanners, and a dedicated security staff, guaranteeing the utmost safety of our customers' materials.

Colt's service spectrum, spanning recycling, destruction, and ITAD, is underpinned by unparalleled flexibility, meticulous attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to delivering top-notch service. Trusted by leading industrial companies, including numerous Fortune 500 entities, Colt Recycling is adept at processing a diverse range of materials containing precious metals, such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, and copper.

We recognize our responsibility to protect our customers' materials throughout the recycling process, allowing them to focus more on their business needs and less on recycling concerns.
