Free Networking Equipment Recycling
Switches, routers, firewalls, access points — enterprise networking recycled free. Always free. No appointment needed.
What We Accept
We accept all networking equipment: Cisco Catalyst, Meraki, Aruba, Juniper, Ubiquiti, Fortinet, SonicWall, Ruckus, and more. Managed switches, routers, firewalls, wireless access points, patch panels, and rack accessories.
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.

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.
