📚 The full picture
Why this matters.
iPhones contain valuable rare-earth metals (cobalt, lithium, copper, gold) that should be recovered, plus a lithium battery that’s a fire hazard if landfilled. Computer Recycling LLC takes every iPhone — working, broken, or somewhere in between — and either refurbishes it for resale or breaks it down for material recovery.
Worried about your data? Working iPhones are factory-reset before resale. Broken or storage-damaged iPhones are physically destroyed so the storage chip is unrecoverable. Either way, your data doesn’t leave our facility intact.
Recent iPhones have real resale value. iPhone 12 and newer in working condition are typical buyback candidates. Email us a list with model, storage size, and condition and we’ll quote a price. Otherwise just drop it off — we recycle for free, no appointment.

What about iCloud-locked iPhones?
Still bring them in. We can’t resell iCloud-locked devices but we recycle the materials responsibly — better than landfilling them.
Will my data be safe?
Yes. Working iPhones are factory-reset before resale. Damaged units are physically destroyed so storage is unrecoverable. We follow NIST 800-88 standards on every device with storage.
