Telecom Equipment Recycling With a Full Chain of Custody
Telecom providers and enterprise network teams retire equipment constantly as networks upgrade. Switches, routers, firewalls, and servers often hold configuration files, credentials, and customer data, so they need the same care as any laptop. eWaste Go logs each asset at pickup, tracks it with QR-code labels and GPS-tracked transportation, and destroys or sanitizes stored data before anything else happens.
Telecommunications equipment gets extra precautions because of how sensitive its data tends to be. As of 2026, the work runs under an R2v3 and ISO-certified chain of custody, from the rack to final processing.
Phones, Handsets, and Backup Power
Telecom retirements usually include more than network gear. eWaste Go accepts cell phones and telephones, battery backup systems (UPS), and rechargeable batteries such as sealed lead-acid and computer backup batteries, so one pickup can clear out a wiring closet or a full equipment room.
Automotive batteries and other corrosive materials aren't accepted, and neither are compressed gas cylinders or refrigerants. Listing everything in the request confirms what's included before the pickup is scheduled.
Network Equipment Decommissioning and Value Recovery
Much of the equipment that comes out of a network upgrade still has resale value. Working switches, routers, and servers are graded, wiped, and remarketed, and a share of the recovery proceeds returns to the company that retired them. For full equipment rooms and server spaces, data center decommissioning covers the rack-and-stack removal.
Each job closes with a certificate of destruction for data-bearing devices, a serial-level reconciliation, and a settlement-ready report, delivered within 24 hours of the service.
Four Steps. Every Time.
Spotting
An inventory walkthrough with asset mapping and network discovery identifies what’s obsolete versus what’s still in active use.
Logistics
GPS-tracked transportation and QR-code asset labels keep a documented chain of custody from your dock to ours.
Execution
Data destruction, sanitization, recycling, and refurbishing happen under R2v3 and ISO-audited controls.
Certification
Documentation, including any certificate of destruction, is provided within 24 hours of the service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you recycle network switches and routers?
Yes. Switches, routers, firewalls, and servers are logged at pickup, wiped or destroyed, and then remarketed or recycled under a full chain of custody.
Can you take UPS units and backup batteries?
Yes. Battery backup systems (UPS) and rechargeable batteries, including sealed lead-acid and computer backup batteries, are accepted. Automotive batteries aren't.
Is data removed from network equipment?
Yes. Configuration files, credentials, and any stored data are destroyed or sanitized before equipment is recycled or resold, and each data-bearing device receives a certificate of destruction.
Can retired telecom equipment be resold?
Working equipment with resale value is graded, wiped, and remarketed, and a share of the recovery proceeds goes back to the company that retired it.
