About SEAM
Why Do Customers Choose SEAM?
The rapid evolution and constant use of technology causes IT assets to be taken off the network for storage, transition, repair or disposition every day. This frequent refresh cycle leaves many organizations overloaded with unused technology equipment, exposing them to catastrophic organizational risks.
That’s where SEAM comes in - By aligning themselves with SEAM, customers are covered by the highest industry standards and certifications. SEAM’s skilled technicians make sure the job is done the right way through seamless asset management.
SEAM's Story:
SEAM originated as a small division of Millennium Recycling Inc., one of the largest materials recovery facilities (MRF) in the Upper Midwest known for introducing Single Stream recycling to the Sioux Falls area. In 2004, Millennium Recycling, Inc. became the first company in the state of South Dakota to recycle consumer electronics.
With an early focus on “end-of-life” recycling, Millennium soon discovered the high demand for refurbishing and remarketing of gently used systems and parts. As a result, a retail store was opened in 2006 to provide customers with an affordable option for refurbished equipment. The store was named Bargain Bytes and operated as a division of Millennium Recycling until 2012, when Bargain Bytes, Inc. was formed as a separate company, soon becoming the first and only certified electronics recycler in the Dakotas.
By 2015, the growing client demand for a full service suite of secure data destruction and IT recycling steered Bargain Bytes to invest in mobile and in-plant industrial shredders, as well as a proprietary equipment tracking system to provide transparent, chain-of-custody reporting. Bargain Bytes rebranded as SEAM in 2016 with a vision to help companies mitigate the risks of IT management in a cost effective way.
By providing seamless services that safeguard clients against threats such as data security, financial, environmental, legal, brand and loss of operational efficiency, companies rely on SEAM for compliant and secure IT asset recovery and environmentally safe electronics recycling.
The company undergoes stringent internal and external audits to maintain compliance with the highest worldwide certifications for data security, environmental management systems and quality processes. SEAM also operates an online retail store, DBA Bargain Bytes.
