US Robotics Disposal

Little remains to record the founding and history of the US Robotics Disposal. Only its facilities remain. However, some have been guessed or worked out through the application of general robotics knowledge. Robots in the 2050s and 2060s were highly complex machines brimming with toxic plastics, heavy metals, caustic chemicals, and even nuclear components. As such, 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 was 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 flashpoint 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.
