Certified ITAD vendors

Every certification in this directory is checked against the register that issued it, and every badge carries the date it was checked. Compare ITAD is paid the same regardless of which vendor you choose — there are no sponsored placements and no paid ranking. Read our methodology.

“Currently certified” means the register that issued the certification still shows it as live, not that we once saw a certificate. The registers behind these figures were read between 12 Sept 2026 and 14 Sept 2026.

Appendix scope has been read for 58 of those 613 vendors, as at 4 Sept 2026. Of the 58: 50 hold Appendix B for logical erasure, 35 for physical destruction, 32 for both, and 5 hold no data sanitization appendix at all. The remaining 555 have not been read yet, and their pages say so rather than showing a blank.

What R2v3 certification does and does not tell you

R2v3 is not a single credential. A facility is certified to the Core Requirements and then to whichever process appendices match the work it actually does. Appendix A covers the downstream recycling chain and applies to every certified facility. The rest are optional and specific.

Appendix B covers data sanitization. A facility without it is not necessarily unable to destroy data — under SERI’s own guidance, basic physical destruction can be performed under Core Requirement 7, and sanitization can be outsourced to a qualified downstream vendor. What the absence of Appendix B means is that the enhanced controls, traceability and record-keeping of that appendix do not apply — so a buyer who needs them has to ask where the work is actually done.

A certification badge on its own does not say which appendices a facility holds. Where the register publishes the scope, this directory prints it beside the badge; where it has not been read yet, the badge says so rather than leaving a blank that reads as “no restrictions”.

Appendix B certifies to a Clear, not a Purge — what that means, and why it matters to your contract. Sources: SERI, R2v3 Appendix Determination Tool · SERI, Specialty Process Requirements · NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 (September 2025).

Certified vendors by state

Counting any vendor whose headquarters or a facility is in the state, and holding a certification the issuing register currently shows as live. States with none are not listed.
