Our Home

We are situated on thirteen acres in Durham, North Carolina – only minutes from the Research Triangle Park, RDU International Airport and Interstate Highways 40 & 85. DECI has a diverse customer base, shipping a variety of items throughout the United States and worldwide.

Annually we contract with over 50 companies, allowing us to employ and train greater then 250 individuals. We do not design or manufacture products of our own – we focus on working with our customers’ products. The income we earn from these commercial contracts provides financial support to our vocational training programs. It also serves as a source for capital reinvestment, which enables us to continually improve our service to customers.

Reclamation Efforts

Coming Soon

Recycling with Impact

DECI contributes to the recycling of a broad range of items, including computer and telecommunication components. We disassemble and sort items for reconditioned or alternate uses.

Environmental Impact

At DECI, sustainability starts with the basics. We’ve implemented core practices that reduce waste, improve energy efficiency, and ensure materials are reused whenever possible.

Operational Practices Prioritize the Planet

By diverting materials like cardboard and pallets from landfills, we’re helping decrease methane emissions and conserve landfill space. Recycling electronics reduces the demand for raw materials and helps prevent heavy metals from entering local waste streams. And our light-reflective roof plays a role in lowering urban heat island effects while also reducing energy costs—allowing us to reinvest those savings into our workforce and mission.

~350 pallets rerouted away from landfills monthly

Sustainable Partnerships

Working to Reduce Environmental Footprint

Many of DECI’s customers share our belief in sustainability. Together, we’ve built processes that support reuse, recycling, and reduction, while creating meaningful work for individuals with disabilities. These collaborations help reduce waste, extend product life cycles, and reflect the values of our broader DECI community.
