How to Prepare Your Device for Sale or Recycling
A step-by-step answer, covering what actually matters and what you can skip. A device that doesn't power on isn't automatically worthless — component and scrap value can still apply.
- Working and non-working devices can both have value — ask either way.
- Quotes are condition-based, confirmed after inspection, not fixed in advance.
- Wipe your data before handover, or ask about data destruction support.
Broken devices still have value
A device that doesn't power on isn't automatically worthless — component and scrap value can still apply. Describe the condition honestly rather than assuming it disqualifies the item.
Getting an accurate quote
For how to prepare your device for sale or recycling, clear photos and an honest condition description — front, back, any damage — lead to a more reliable preliminary estimate. The confirmed number is always set at inspection, since condition can look different once the item is actually seen.
Selling in bulk
For how to prepare your device for sale or recycling, clearing out multiple devices from an office upgrade is common — share the full list with quantities for a consolidated quote rather than handling items one at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is resale better than recycling?
For working devices, resale is usually worth checking first since it captures more value than recycling. Non-working or very old devices are often better suited to recycling.
Is cash guaranteed?
Payment is arranged once a quote is accepted, confirmed at the time of inspection rather than promised in advance.
Can batteries be sold?
Batteries are generally handled through battery recycling rather than resale, given the different safety and handling requirements.
What is condition-based value?
It means the quote reflects the device's actual working status, physical condition and completeness rather than a flat rate by model alone.
