One of the most common questions we get is “do you take ____?” So here’s the definitive guide to what we pick up, what we don’t, and why.
What We Pick Up
Servers — Rack-mount, tower, blade servers. Dell PowerEdge, HP ProLiant, Lenovo ThinkSystem, Supermicro, and everything else. Working or not. This is our bread and butter. Enterprise servers — even older generations — often have significant component value in processors, memory, and drives.
Networking Equipment — Switches, routers, firewalls, access points, and wireless controllers. Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Meraki, Ubiquiti, Palo Alto, Fortinet — we take it all.
Storage Arrays and SAN Equipment — NetApp, Dell EMC, Pure Storage, HPE, IBM. Disk shelves, controllers, SFPs, and fiber channel cards.
Desktop Computers — Business-class desktops like Dell OptiPlex, HP EliteDesk, and Lenovo ThinkCentre. We do take consumer-grade desktops, but they typically carry less recovery value.
Laptops — Business and consumer laptops. Working laptops, even older ones, often have good resale value.
Monitors — LCD and LED flat panels. We do NOT take CRT monitors (the old heavy tube-style monitors) — those require specialized handling due to lead content.
UPS Systems and Batteries — Rack-mount and tower UPS units from APC, Eaton, Tripp Lite, CyberPower, and Vertiv. The batteries inside these units are classified as hazardous waste and need to be handled properly — we make sure they go to the right downstream processor.
Rack Hardware — Server racks, rail kits, PDUs (power distribution units), cable management, blanking panels, and rack shelving.
Cabling — Copper network cables (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a), fiber optic cables, power cables, and SFP modules. Yes, even boxes of tangled Cat5 in a closet.
Telecom Equipment — VoIP phones, PBX systems, and conference room equipment.
Thin Clients and Point-of-Sale Systems — Wyse, HP, and Dell thin clients, along with commercial POS terminals. These often contain storage media that needs proper data handling.
Components and Accessories — RAM, CPUs, hard drives, SSDs, PCIe cards, GPU cards, and power supplies. If it came out of a computer, we’ll take it.
What We Don’t Pick Up
CRT Monitors — The lead content requires specialized recycling we don’t handle in-house.
Large Appliances — Refrigerators, microwaves, coffee machines. We’re IT equipment, not general electronics.
Consumer Electronics — Personal TVs, gaming consoles, home routers. We focus on business and enterprise equipment.
Furniture — Even if it’s a computer desk. We’re here for the equipment, not the furniture it sat on.
Hazardous Materials — Beyond UPS batteries (which we do handle), we don’t take items like toner cartridges in bulk, chemical cleaning supplies, or other non-IT hazardous materials.
Minimum Pickup Size
We offer free pickups in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, but we do generally need a reasonable volume to justify the trip. A single desktop computer usually doesn’t warrant a standalone pickup — but if you have a handful of items or more, we’re happy to come out. If you’re unsure, just reach out and describe what you have. We’ll let you know.
Not Sure If We Take It?
When in doubt, ask. Send us a message or give us a call describing what you’ve got. Include photos if possible — it helps us assess quickly. Worst case, we point you to someone who can help.
