Networking Equipment Recycling for Every Brand and Type
Looking for networking equipment recycling in Kansas City or switch recycling near me? Computer Recycling LLC accepts every type of networking hardware in any condition. Whether you are decommissioning a server room full of Cisco Catalyst switches, replacing outdated Juniper routers, or clearing out a closet full of old patch panels and cables, we will recycle it all for free.
Networking equipment contains copper, steel, aluminum, gold-plated connectors, and circuit boards with recoverable precious metals. Rather than letting old switches and routers take up space in a storage room, bring them to us for responsible recycling. We handle everything from a single home router to full enterprise network teardowns.

Configuration Security for Network Equipment
Networking equipment often contains stored configurations with sensitive information — network topologies, IP addresses, SNMP community strings, VPN credentials, and admin passwords. Before recycling, we recommend performing a factory reset on all managed switches, routers, and firewalls to remove stored configurations.
If you cannot reset your equipment, our team will clear all configurations during processing. For businesses with strict security requirements, we can provide documentation confirming configuration clearing as part of our data destruction service.
Enterprise customers decommissioning network infrastructure can request a Certificate of Destruction for compliance records. This is especially relevant for organizations subject to PCI-DSS, HIPAA, or SOX regulations where network security documentation is required.
Business Network Teardown Recycling
Decommissioning a server room or network closet? Computer Recycling LLC handles complete network teardown recycling for businesses across the Kansas City metro. Whether you are clearing out a single wiring closet or an entire data center floor of networking gear, we provide free pickup and documented recycling.
For business volumes of 3 or more gaylord boxes, we offer free pickup service. We will come to your facility, collect all networking equipment — switches, routers, firewalls, access points, cables, and rack hardware — and handle everything from there. Higher-value enterprise equipment like Cisco Catalyst 9000 series or Juniper EX switches may qualify for buyback.
For enterprise-level needs including asset tracking and value recovery, explore our IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) services.
