Environment
"When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world." ~John Muir
DTR Technologies believes that our actions today will have an exponential impact on future generations. In order to protect our environment, we have partnered with GRX Recycling of Colorado to make a concerted effort to properly dispose of depreciated electronics. We make ourselves accountable for our environment and encourage our competition to do the same.
We regulate our paper usage by printing scarcely, recycling paper and cardboard and by being a styrofoam recycling center to ensure that recycling is embedded in all our business practices. We also use Chevy HHRs for our team of on-site technicians to maximize fuel efficiency.
