Do you accept networking equipment for recycling?
Yes — we take networking equipment free, working or broken, any brand and any age. Bring them to Computer Recycling LLC at 125 E 10th Ave, North Kansas City, MO 64116. No appointment, no minimum quantity, no fee. We are open Monday to Friday 8am–3pm and Saturday 8am–2pm. Pull around to the back dock, ring the bell, and our crew comes out to unload for you — most drop-offs take under five minutes. Nothing is landfilled: working gear is refurbished for reuse and the rest is broken down for material recovery through R2v3 or e-Stewards certified partners. Larger volumes can be picked up instead.
- Free for almost every item — first 3 TVs free
- Working or broken — condition does not matter
- Data-bearing devices wiped or shredded on request
The essentials
Why Recycling Matters
Networking equipment contains copper, gold-plated connectors, lead solder, and specialized semiconductors. Enterprise switches and routers contain surprisingly high concentrations of precious metals. Responsible recycling recovers these materials while ensuring any stored configurations or credentials are securely wiped.
Buyback & Value Recovery
Enterprise networking equipment — especially Cisco, Meraki, and Aruba — holds strong resale value. Current-generation switches, access points, and firewalls with active licenses are highly sought after. Even older enterprise gear can have value. Contact us with model numbers for a quote.

Security Steps Before Recycling Network Gear
Networking equipment often stores sensitive configuration data including WiFi passwords, SNMP community strings, VPN credentials, and RADIUS secrets. Before recycling, perform a factory reset on each device to clear stored configurations. For Cisco gear, use the "write erase" command followed by a reload. Meraki devices should be removed from your dashboard first. Fortinet and SonicWall firewalls should be restored to factory defaults through the management interface. If you are decommissioning an entire rack or closet, label or photograph your cable layout before disconnecting — this helps avoid confusion if any equipment is still needed. Bring the power cables and rack ears along with each unit, as complete accessories increase buyback value significantly.
