We collect and process end-of-life electronics and data equipment direct from your facility, EPA-permitted per client, with the documentation your compliance team needs. No landfill, ever.
We collect retired IT and electronic equipment in any mix — servers, racks, drives, cabling, monitors and UPS units — and every load leaves with documentation.
We provide streamlined pickup for your electronics, whether as a standalone service or integrated with your existing scrap metal recycling. Trailer at the dock, or a container staged where the equipment comes out.

Computer and IT equipment recycling in Cincinnati
We recycle computers and IT equipment for businesses across Cincinnati, Dayton and Northern Kentucky: desktops, laptops, servers, switches, routers, monitors and printers. It can ride on the same pickup as other material we collect for you, from a trailer at the dock or a container staged where the equipment comes out.
Insulated and copper cabling is graded with our scrap metal recycling, and UPS units and battery strings go through our industrial battery recycling program on the same account. See all industrial recycling services.

Data centers
We collect servers, network gear, racking and power equipment from data centers, with chain of custody on every load. Bare bright copper cabling, stainless racking and electric motors are graded separately, so each earns its own rebate.
Offices & corporate campuses
We collect desktops, laptops, monitors, printers and phone systems from offices and corporate campuses. Large refreshes can be collected in stages over several days, so equipment moves out on your schedule.
Hospitals & medical facilities
Imaging equipment, monitors, workstations and the compliance trail that goes with them. Documentation per load, and it can come on the same schedule as your paper and cardboard.
Manufacturing & plant floor
We collect obsolete controls, drives, panels, PLCs and the cabling behind them. Tell us the date of a shutdown or line upgrade and we’ll stage containers ahead of it.
