Server recycling: what we collect
-
Rack, blade and tower servers.
-
SAN and NAS equipment, disk shelves and storage arrays.
-
Network switches, routers, firewalls and wireless controllers.
-
Rails, power supplies and rack accessories.
Count the storage inside each server
Server disposal is more than counting boxes. One chassis can hold several disks, boot drives or memory cards. Count the drives in each array so none go missing. Ask your IT team to check controllers and appliances as well as the obvious drive bays.
Network switch disposal also needs a check for saved settings and passwords. Your IT team decides what must be cleared and what needs destroying. List hard drives and SSDs separately. If an array has failed and can't be accessed, tell us so we can agree how to handle it.
How to pack it
Send a simple equipment list, without passwords or network diagrams. Your IT team shuts down and disconnects the equipment. Tell us whether units are already out of the racks, their weights, the lift capacity and the route to the dock.
How it works
-
Agree the list. Servers, network gear and drives, signed off by the system owner.
-
Choose the method. Wipe or destroy, for each group of drives.
-
We collect. We count the equipment with your contact. Drives are wiped or destroyed as instructed, and the rest is recycled.
You get written confirmation once the drives are wiped or destroyed.
Collection, minimums and timing
Collection across metropolitan Melbourne, with delivery to our yard available by arrangement for business loads.
There is no minimum. The fee depends on the load and access, and the quote comes back by email once we have looked at what you have.
Batteries in devices
Laptops, phones and tablets can come as they are, with their batteries in. Loose, swollen or damaged lithium batteries are not taken. Tell us if any device is swollen, cracked or has been in water.
