We collect retired IT and electronic equipment in any mix — servers, racks, drives, cabling, monitors and UPS units — and every load leaves with documentation.

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.
