The one sentence I couldn’t get away from was a line he quoted from his father,”Do the unexpected, and you’ll win."
I had to find out.
This morning, a post jumped on my computer with this title and a picture of Einstein. I really wasn’t interested in reading the article, but I clicked on it hoping to find out how this popped on my screen. I’m always curious about new internet tech. The title of my article is a quote from mystory.com, a piece written by James Altucher titled, How to be a Genius.
A few lines caught my attention, so I kept reading.
A few lines caught my attention, so I kept reading. The one sentence I couldn’t get away from was a line he quoted from his father,”Do the unexpected, and you’ll win.” His father was a chess master. It doesn’t matter what you think of the game; a person has to respect a chess master.
I had to pause and ask myself, “Do I do the unexpected? Does our company, Urban E Recycling, do the unexpected?” If so, how?
I am sure we do. All of our services are free. I say that’s pretty unexpected because I have to continually explain why the services are free. If you don’t know, we recycle computers done to earth elements; meaning, down to the metals. We pick up from local companies and municipalities; we shred all hard drives for security; we dismantle the computers and other electronics, and recycle them responsibly.
We are:
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliant
registered with the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).
The no charge model just made sense to us.
Why would we charge you for material we need? Yes, others in our industry charge for the same service. Yes, we could charge also, but that would be expected. But we have a formula that works for us, and evidently, according to our growth, it’s working for the Tampa Bay community. Now we have a warehouse in Orlando and Bradenton where we have the same model, data destruction by shredding and responsible recycling.
We shred hard drives for no charge. And of course, we could charge for shredding hard drives since everybody else does. But again, we need your material–you need to feel secure that your data is securely destroyed, and we certainly don’t want to be responsible for anybody’s data to get out. So we shred hard drives as a courtesy to you and as a protection for both of us. It’s a victory for both parties.
What do you think? Do you think Urban E Recycling does the ‘unexpected’? I’d like to hear from you. We are always open to suggestions.
