Turn Retiring Classroom Devices Into Budget Dollars

There is no strict minimum. We work with individual schools disposing of as few as 25 devices and large districts retiring thousands of units at once. Volume pricing kicks in automatically at 50+ devices, with enhanced rates at 250+ and 1,000+ tiers.

Before pickup, your IT team will need to unenroll devices from Google Admin Console (for Chromebooks) or release them from Apple School Manager / Apple Business Manager (for iPads and Macs). We provide step-by-step guides and can walk your team through the process. Devices that remain enrolled in MDM cannot be processed and will be returned at no cost.

Yes. Multi-site pickups are standard and included at no extra cost. Our logistics team coordinates directly with each building principal or IT contact to schedule pickups at times that work for each location. We typically process an entire district in a single week.

We purchase devices in any condition -- working, cosmetically damaged, functionally impaired, and non-functional. Each device is evaluated individually and priced according to its actual condition. Even non-working devices have recovery value through component harvesting and certified recycling.

Data protection is our highest priority. Devices are transported in sealed, tamper-evident containers. Upon arrival at our facility, every device undergoes NIST 800-88 compliant data destruction before any other processing occurs. We provide a per-device certificate of destruction listing the serial number, sanitization method, date, and result for your FERPA compliance records.

You receive a comprehensive program report that includes: per-device inventory with serial numbers and model identification, individual condition grades, per-device and total payout amounts, certificates of data destruction, and a recycling summary for devices that were not resold. This documentation satisfies audit requirements for Title I, E-Rate, ESSER, and bond-funded technology.

A typical K-12 buyback program takes 2-4 weeks from initial quote to final payment. Quote turnaround is 1-2 business days. Pickup is scheduled at your convenience. Processing and payment occur within 7-10 business days of receiving devices. For urgent timelines, we offer expedited processing.

Payment is issued to the school district as a standard vendor payment. How the funds are allocated is entirely up to your district -- general fund, technology replacement budget, specific building accounts, or any other designated purpose. Many districts apply recovered funds directly to offset the cost of new device deployments.

Yes. We accept Chromebooks regardless of their Auto Update Expiration (AUE) status. While devices past their AUE date typically have lower resale value, they still contain recoverable components and materials. Converting these end-of-life devices to budget dollars is far better than paying for disposal or letting them sit in storage.

Devices purchased with federal funding such as E-Rate, ESSER, ARP, or Title I grants can be disposed of through our program. Our reporting documentation is designed to meet the accountability requirements of these funding sources, providing a clear audit trail from device acquisition through final disposition.
