What TBF computing INC. does

TBF Computing INC. is a private IT asset disposition (ITAD) company founded in 2008 and headquartered at 1090 Cobb Industrial Drive in Marietta, Georgia, with a processing warehouse in Kennesaw, GA. The firm provides four integrated services: asset recovery (remarketing and profit-share or straight buyout), computer recycling (de-manufacturing into base components and downstream handoff to R2 Certified processors), data destruction (NIST 800-88 compliant wiping via DBAN software and physical shredding), and equipment buyout of decommissioned IT assets. Data destruction procedures are positioned as compliant with HIPAA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, Sarbanes-Oxley, the Patriot Act, and the Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act, and the firm is registered with the state of Georgia as a Computer Recycler.

The company's underlying technology is primarily physical and process-based rather than software-based: TBF owns and operates a purpose-built hydraulic twin shaft shredder and a SEM 20 horsepower shredder for hard drives and magnetic media, and applies circuit board level repair (capacitor replacement, chip re-soldering, connector repair). Serialized inventory management captures weight, brand, model, serial number, and asset tag numbers and produces certificates of data destruction, supporting the audit trail demanded by regulated enterprise and education customers.

Commercially, TBF runs an enterprise B2B field-sales model with quote-based, transaction-style pricing. Target customers are Fortune 1000 companies, colleges, and school districts with large, often multi-location IT footprints. Pickup logistics use company-owned trucks within a 500-mile radius of Atlanta and a nationwide freight driver network, with free Atlanta Metro pickup and free standard drop-offs. Revenue is generated through equipment buyouts, remarketing spreads to end users and wholesalers worldwide, revenue-share arrangements with equipment owners, and scrap processing handoffs. The firm operates with 11-50 employees and discloses no revenue, funding, or parent company.
