Considerations before bringing it
Back up photos and videos first. Remove SD cards, SIM cards, straps, lenses, chargers, and accessories you want to keep.
Data and privacy prep
Factory reset the camera if available and remove wireless app connections. We handle devices securely after intake, but removable cards should be kept if you need their data.
Best way to bring it to us
Bring cameras protected from impact. Batteries and chargers can be recycled with the camera if you do not need them.
What happens after drop-off
Cameras are evaluated for reuse, parts, batteries, lenses, circuit boards, and recycling.
