This year, FIRST teamed up with 2nd Solutions for the e-cycle program, which allows people to turn in old/unused electronics to exchange for money for teams. Second Solutions is a global leader in trading and recycling electronic equipment. It was established in 2005 to extend the commercial usefulness of electronic devices by making use of their residual values on the market. The company makes securing and destroying all traces of proprietary data a top priority when reselling the products to customers. It holds to the “no landfill” policy and responsibly disposes all electronic equipment. 2^nd Solutions is the leader in value recovery with its acquisition and distribution of old and unused technology.
