Do you accept smart home devices for recycling?
Yes — we take smart home devices 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
What We Accept
We accept all smart home devices: Amazon Echo/Alexa, Google Nest/Home, Apple HomePod, Ring doorbells and cameras, Nest thermostats and smoke detectors, smart plugs, smart bulbs, Philips Hue, and any other IoT devices.
Why Recycling Matters
Smart home devices contain lithium batteries, circuit boards with precious metals, microphones, cameras, and wireless radios with rare earth components. As the IoT market explodes, e-waste from smart devices is one of the fastest-growing waste categories. Proper recycling prevents these small but toxic devices from accumulating in landfills.
Buyback & Value Recovery
Current-generation smart home devices in working condition — especially Ring, Nest, and Apple HomePod — may have resale value. Contact us if you have quantities from property management or commercial installations.

Schedule a Pickup (3+ gaylords) →Deregister Your Devices Before Recycling
Smart home devices are tied to your personal accounts and home network, so removing them properly protects your privacy. For Amazon Echo and Alexa devices, deregister them through the Alexa app or on your Amazon account page. Google Nest and Home devices should be factory reset by holding the microphone-mute button for about 15 seconds. Ring doorbells and cameras need to be removed from your Ring account before drop-off, or the next owner cannot activate them. Apple HomePod should be reset through the Home app or by touching the top and holding until the spinning light appears. Smart plugs, light bulbs, and sensors can usually be reset with a series of on-off power cycles described in their manual. If you skip these steps, no worries — we wipe all devices during processing, but deregistering first ensures your accounts are immediately secure.
