Less landfill, more second runs.
We're the back room of techforcepr — the repair shop in San Juan where we've been fixing electronics since 2007. Almost two decades of pulling things apart, putting things back together, and getting to know which units are worth saving.
Not everything that comes in gets fixed. Customers don't always pick up. The manufacturer stops making the part. The repair quote runs higher than a replacement. Whatever the reason — the gear that still has life in it shouldn't end up in the same pile as the dead ones.
We pull what's salvageable, test what we can, and sell it here at honest prices. As-is, with everything we know listed up front. No mystery, no upcharge — just gear with another run left in it.
Keeping Puerto Rico off the pile.
Puerto Rico generates thousands of tons of electronic waste every year — laptops, phones, batteries, boards going into landfills that weren't built to contain the lead, mercury, lithium, and plastics inside. Some of it leaves the island for "recycling" that's really a slower trip to the same fate. None of it comes back.
We can't fix Puerto Rico's waste problem. The infrastructure for proper e-waste recycling here is thin, the buyback programs are limited, and the volume keeps climbing year over year.
But we can keep the units we touch in circulation one more cycle. A laptop bought here is a laptop someone didn't buy new — a chassis, battery, motherboard, and screen that didn't have to be manufactured for a single short life. A salvaged motherboard finds another build instead of a landfill. A part listed honestly finds someone who needed exactly that part. A print sold keeps an artist working.
Small loops, repeated. Less landfill, more second runs. Hecho en Puerto Rico, para los que saben.
