How buyback works
A documented process from inventory to final disposition

Send a device inventory or request a quote with models, quantities and condition.
-
Pickup or ship-in
We pick up from schools, district offices and agency sites across Long Island and the Tri-State area, or you ship devices to our Amityville depot.

Serialized intake and data sanitization
Each device is logged at intake, then goes through data sanitization aligned with NIST SP 800-88, under a documented chain of custody.
-
Refurbishment, resale and recycling
Reusable devices are refurbished and resold. Non-reusable units are recycled through vetted downstream recyclers.
Accountability and documentation
Records your auditors and board can rely on
Every buyback project is documented from pickup to final disposition, so you can show where each retired device went.
- Documented chain of custody from pickup to final disposition
- Serialized asset reporting: make, model, serial number, asset tag and disposition for each device, updated in real time
- Data sanitization aligned with NIST SP 800-88 (Clear, Purge, Destroy)
- Per-device certificates of data destruction
- Recycling of non-reusable units through vetted downstream recyclers, with certificates of recycling
How you receive value
Payment or credit, your choice
Payment
Value for eligible devices can be paid to your district or agency.
Credit toward repairs or refresh
Or apply the value as credit toward depot repair or your next device refresh, including new Dell, ASUS and Lenovo devices, which we supply as an authorized reseller.
Device value depends on models, condition and quantity, and is set out in each quote.
End-of-year refresh
Plan buyback around your end-of-year refresh
Many districts collect devices at the end of the school year and refresh their fleets over the summer. Contact us before collection so pickup, intake and data sanitization can be scheduled alongside your refresh and summer bulk repair.
