Description

Network switches, routers, firewalls, and similar rack or desktop networking gear are accepted.

Considerations before bringing it

Remove rack ears or modules you want to keep. Label equipment only if you need asset tracking for your own records.

Data and privacy prep

Network gear can store configuration data. Businesses should factory reset devices or request secure handling if configs contain sensitive network information.

Best way to bring it to us

Bring small quantities boxed; businesses retiring racks or closets of gear can request pickup.

What happens after drop-off

Gear is evaluated for reuse, configuration reset, parts recovery, and electronics recycling.
