What makes equipment eligible for buyback?

Equipment generally needs to be less than 5–7 years old, in working or repairable condition, and from a brand with active secondary market demand (Apple, Dell, Cisco, HPE, Lenovo, etc.). Age and spec thresholds vary by category — contact us for an evaluation.

How is the buyback value determined?

We assess current secondary market prices, device age, condition, and model. We provide a transparent quote before any work begins — no surprises.

What happens to equipment that doesn't qualify for buyback?

Non-buyback equipment is responsibly recycled through our certified process at a flat-rate fee. Zero landfill guaranteed. All data is still destroyed and documentation provided.

Is data destruction included in the buyback process?

Yes — always. Every storage device is mechanically shredded or sanitized before remarketing. A Certificate of Data Destruction listing serial number and destruction method is provided for every device, regardless of buyback status.

How quickly can you schedule a pickup in Greater Boston?

Most pickups can be scheduled within 2–5 business days. For large data center decommissions or time-sensitive projects, rush scheduling is available.

Do you offer buyback for mixed lots with some eligible and some non-eligible equipment?

Absolutely. Mixed lots are common. Eligible assets are credited at buyback value, non-eligible assets are recycled at standard flat-rate pricing — all handled in a single pickup.
