We get asked all the time: "What can I actually recycle with you guys?" The answer is pretty much anything with a plug or a wire!

We specialize in a massive variety of technology, ensuring everything is processed safely and responsibly right here in the U.S. Here’s a quick glance at what we accept:

✅ The Essentials: Servers, laptops, desktop computers, and networking hardware.

✅ Office & Imaging: Printers, floor copiers, scanners, and faxes.

✅ Displays: LCD monitors and all types of TVs (yes, even those heavy old CRTs and wood consoles!).

✅ The Workspace Extras: Mice, keyboards, phone systems, cables, UPS backup systems, and even ink or toner cartridges.

If your workspace is getting cluttered with old tech, we're here to help you clear it out with total compliance and security. Learn more: https://evolutionecycling.com/services/electronic-recycling/

Did you know that not all electronics that come through our doors are destined for the recycling shredder?

Many devices are still fully functional and have plenty of life left in them. Through our equipment purchasing program, we thoroughly inspect, clean, professionally wipe, and test quality hardware to offer it as certified refurbished gear. Buying refurbished is an incredible way for local schools, non-profits, or growing businesses to save 40-70% compared to buying new, all while keeping perfectly good tech in the loop and out of landfills.

Question: Does my company need to palletize our old IT equipment before you pick it up?

The short answer: Nope! Leave the heavy lifting (and wrapping) to us.

We know your team has better things to do than stack heavy servers and hunt down stretch wrap. Our professional logistics team can remove your old tech directly from your office spaces, storage closets, or data center floors. We provide full pack-and-wrap services to ensure everything is tightly secured for transport. Just show us where the equipment is, and we'll take it from there!

When it’s time to retire old data center or office hardware, shredding everything by default might mean leaving money on the table.

Our recent blog explores why checking for resale options before you recycle is a major win for your budget. Many servers, storage arrays, and networking tools still have solid residual value. By evaluating your gear early, you can offset decommissioning costs and keep perfectly good hardware in the circular economy.
