US Robotics Disposal

Safely disposing of your robotic waste since 2053— Company slogan

US Robotics Disposal was a pre-War company established in 2053.[1]

Background

The Robotics Disposal company formed to resolve two issues relating to obsolete, decommissioned, or destroyed robots: Dismantling of the robot, and recycling of the robot parts.[Pub 1]

Little remains recording the founding and history of US Robotics Disposal. Only its facilities remain. However, some has been guessed or worked out through application of general robotics knowledgeIn-game spelling

Robots in the 2050s and 2060s were highly complex machines brimming with toxic plastics, heavy metals, caustic chemicals, and even nuclear components. when a robot broke down, became obsolete, or got destroyed in an industrial accident or act of war, they couldn’t simply be dropped in the nearest dumpster for transport to a landfill.
Instead, they required careful dismantling, then disposal of their individual components according to exacting protocols. Some autonomous units resisted this process, often vigorously or even with deadly force. Not every company was equipped to take on such a task.
US Robotics Disposal formed in 2053 to fill that niche, profiting on two fronts. They charged a high fee for the dismantling, then recycled the raw materials for sale to robot manufacturers and other industrial clients. It was a win-win for US Robotics Disposal, and a general boon for the industry.
There are no records of what happened to the corporation or its leadership during and after the War.

After the War

US Robotics Disposals’ sole footprint in the Wastelands is Disposal Site East 09B. An active disposal site up to the flash point of the Great War, it still contains thousands of robot chassis. Though it was scavenged aggressively over the past decades, some rusting scraps and a combat sentry droid are all that remains of the wealth it once represented.
