Considerations before bringing it
Do not disassemble a UPS unless you are comfortable doing so safely. Keep power cords only if needed. Careful when lifting as these can be quite heavy.
Data and privacy prep
UPS units do not normally store customer data, but networked models may retain settings.
Best way to bring it to us
Careful when lifting. Remove batteries if needed to get them to a manageable weight.
What happens after drop-off
UPS units are sorted for battery removal, electronics, metals, and responsible downstream recycling.
