History

Established in 2005.

Turtle Wings is a woman-​owned business committed to making the world a better place by facilitating the reuse and recycling of electronics. The founder, Elizabeth, has had a life long interest in reuse and recycling of all materials. She tells the following with a smile.

In 2002, when I was finally ready to replace my old home computer from the early 1990’s, I looked for the most globally beneficial way to get rid of it. I called several charities and schools who clearly were not interested in my obsolete equipment. I also contacted several hauling companies but they told me they were just going to take it to the local landfill. Though that is legal in the State of Maryland, it wasn’t something that I felt comfortable doing. Just because you can throw something out, doesn’t mean you should.” «At that moment, my idea for a national company called Turtle Wings which would dispose of electronics in a globally responsible manner was born.
