Why teams work with us

Three commitments that show up in every job.

Maximized value

Choose a single buyout or a consignment model. Either way, our direct remarketing channels into the secondary hardware market are built to recover more than a scrap-rate quote.

Certified R2v3 services

Every job follows R2v3 standards for responsible electronics reuse and recycling. We maintain documented chain of custody throughout the disposition process and provide Logical Data Sanitization within our certified scope. Additional sanitization or destruction services can be coordinated through qualified downstream partners when required.

A dedicated account team

One point of contact owns logistics, compliance, and reporting for your project — no ticket queue, no re-explaining your environment to a new rep each call.

What we do

Four services. One chain of custody.

01

Hardware Remarketing

Retired switches, routers, and optics move through a global network of vetted buyers and brokers. We handle the grading, the listing, and the settlement — you get a check and a report.

Built for hyperscaler and enterprise decommission volume.

02

Eco-Friendly Recycling

Anything that can’t be resold gets processed to R2 standards. Nothing that can be reused or reclaimed goes to a landfill — full stop.

Downstream vendor audits on file, available on request.

03

Logical Data Sanitization

Logical data sanitization is available within our certified scope. When additional wiping or destruction services are required, we can coordinate them through qualified downstream partners while maintaining documented chain of custody.

Additional sanitization or destruction services available through qualified partners.

04

Compliance Reporting

Custom documentation packages built around your ESG and audit requirements — asset-level disposition records, not a generic summary PDF.

Formatted to slot directly into your existing audit trail.

How it works

From quote to final reporting in four stages.

Freight and site logistics coordinated end to end
01

Scope the pull

Send us rack counts, hardware makes/models, and target dates. We quote a buyout or consignment structure within 48 hours.

02

We handle logistics

Our team coordinates palletization, freight, and site access with your facilities team — de-rack to loading dock, tracked the whole way.

03

Disposition & sanitization

Hardware is routed according to project requirements for reuse, resale, recycling, or disposition. Logical Data Sanitization is performed where applicable within our certified scope, with additional services coordinated through qualified downstream partners when required.

04

Settle & report

You receive your payout or consignment statement alongside a full compliance report — serials, disposition methods, and supporting documentation included.

Certifications

R2v3 and RIOS — two standards, audited every year.

Certification isn't a logo on a website. Both standards are enforced by independent third-party audits of how we actually handle your hardware — from the data on it to the people processing it to where the material ends up.

R2v3Responsible Recycling

The global standard for electronics reuse and recycling. It governs how data-bearing devices are tracked, sanitized, and dispositioned — and holds every downstream vendor in the chain to the same requirements.

  • Verifiable media sanitization requirements
  • Documented chain of custody, asset by asset
  • Audited downstream vendor network
RIOSRecycling Industry Operating Standard

Built specifically for recycling and scrap operations, RIOS integrates three disciplines that are usually certified separately into one management system — so quality, environmental performance, and worker safety are audited together rather than in isolation.

One framework, three elements
QualityEnvironmentHealth & Safety

What that means for you

Data security

Mandates verifiable media sanitization, so retired hardware never becomes a data leak.

Legal compliance

Keeps your disposition program aligned with local and global law on waste handling and transport.

Worker safety

Sets a high bar for employee health and safety across every stage of the processing floor.

Vendor access

Unlocks partnerships and procurement channels that are only open to R2v3 certified vendors.

Sustainability

Backs your corporate social responsibility reporting and circular economy goals with audited proof.

Service areas

Bay Area based, with range across Northern and Central California.

Servicing the greater San Francisco Bay Area, with range extending north to the greater Sacramento metropolis, south to the Monterey Peninsula, and down the Central Valley to Bakersfield.

Wherever you sit in that range, the engagement runs the same way — scheduled pickup from your site, documented chain of custody, and the same reporting at the end of it.
