What Sunnking does

Sunnking, legally Sunnking Sustainable Solutions, Inc., is a privately held electronics recycling and IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) company founded in 2000 by Duane Beckett in Brockport, New York. The company operates an R2v3-certified headquarters in Brockport with two additional New York facilities in Whitesboro (Central NY, R2v3) and Lancaster (transfer site), and provides nationwide enterprise ITAD coverage across more than 20 U.S. cities. Its enterprise offering spans the full ITAD lifecycle — data center decommissioning, reverse logistics, redeployment, lease return management, product destruction, value recovery through resale, multi-regulation compliance (HIPAA, FACTA, SOX, GLBA, NIST 800-88), and ESG reporting delivered through a dedicated client portal with live asset tracking. Data destruction combines independently validated multi-pass data erasure with physical hard-drive shredding, supported by HID card-reader warehouse access, 24/7 video surveillance, and documented chain-of-custody protocols.

The company serves two parallel customer segments. For enterprises across defense & aerospace, financial services, healthcare, education, manufacturing, retail, hospitality, and technology, it provides quote-based, multi-year ITAD contracts via dedicated account managers. For consumers and SMBs, Sunnking runs a freemium recycling channel — free drive-through electronics recycling events across New York State, 100+ partner drop-off sites (including Goodwill), and an eBay storefront plus periodic warehouse "bin-anza" sales for refurbished hardware. Community-oriented fundraising channels (e-Scrap for Camp with Camp Good Days, Recycle 4 Ronald with Ronald McDonald House Charities) double as recurring electronics-collection pipelines; a SUNY Brockport scholarship and Idaho National Labs e-waste education partnership round out the stakeholder ecosystem. Revenue derives from per-engagement enterprise service fees, refurbished-device resale, and transaction-fee fundraising programs; pricing for enterprise work is not publicly disclosed.

Operationally, Adam Shine was promoted to President in March 2022 alongside founder/CEO Duane Beckett, and the company has implemented a four-day work week across its NY facilities. Sunnking carries R2v3, RIOS, and ITAR Registered Broker certifications, was the first New York State company to achieve R2 certification, and has been recognized with Top Workplaces 2023 (Rochester Democrat and Chronicle), 2nd Place for Electronics at the 2021 Go Global Awards, and the 2025 WNY Sustainability Summit Innovation Award for its Live ESG Reporting tool.
