SAMR Inc.

What SAMR Inc. does

SAMR Inc., doing business as EACR Inc., is a privately held electronics recycling company founded in 2000 and headquartered at a 20,000-square-foot state-licensed facility in Lakewood, New Jersey. The company provides end-to-end e-waste management and secure data destruction services to federal, state, and local government agencies, enterprises, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and municipalities across more than 20 U.S. states. Its service portfolio spans general electronics recycling, DoD 5220.22-M-compliant data wiping and physical media destruction, data center decommissioning, and a deep set of specialized material-handling services (batteries, solar panels, appliances, HVAC units, lamps, metals, propane tanks, fire extinguishers, and wires). All operations are conducted under a New Jersey-issued Class D Recycling License and a stated zero-landfill policy, with Certificates of Recycling and Destruction issued to clients for compliance documentation.

The company's core technical capability centers on secure data sanitization (DoD 5220.22-M 3-pass overwrite with physical destruction fallback) and downstream material separation (plastics, aluminum, copper, steel, glass, mercury recovery), executed in-house using baling machines, hydraulic shears, a dedicated glass processing room, and mobile hard-drive destruction equipment. The asset base is complemented by an owned logistics fleet — 26-foot box trucks with lift gates, tractor trailers, and roll-off containers — that supports scheduled pickups, on-demand service, drop-off at the Lakewood facility, and hosted community collection events.

Revenue is generated primarily through service fees for recycling, secure data destruction, and logistics, with pricing structured as custom quotes based on item type, volume, condition, and location. The go-to-market is direct-to-business via phone/email, a content-marketing blog, and a presence on LinkedIn and Pinterest. The company does not disclose revenue, has no external funding, no parent company, and is led by CEO Albert Boufard; ownership appears to be independent and closely held.
