Yes! Through our IT asset remarketing program, equipment with residual market value is refurbished and resold through our established channels. We operate on a revenue-sharing model, meaning you receive a percentage of the proceeds from successfully sold assets. Many clients offset their entire decommissioning cost—and some even profit.
We recycle all battery types commonly found in data center environments, including lead-acid UPS batteries, lithium-ion systems, and emerging chemistries like sodium-sulfur. Our TSDF-permitted facility ensures proper handling and regulatory compliance for all battery waste.
Project timelines vary based on scope. A single-rack decommission might be completed in one day, while a full facility can take several weeks. After our initial assessment, we provide a detailed project schedule that works with your operational requirements.
