What do you get in exchange for your old servers?

Servers are one of the most valuable streams in IT recycling. A complete rack server contains a significant amount of copper (in power supplies, cabling, and cooling systems), aluminum for the chassis, and circuit boards with a high density of precious metals. The more modules it contains—such as memory, RAID controllers, and network cards—the higher its value. We pay based on weight and completeness, with a premium for servers that are still fully equipped. For decommissioning projects involving entire racks or data centers, we provide a customized quote in advance, based on a sample of the configuration.

More about returning servers

Trusted and Sustainable

Krommenhoek Metals is fully certified. We hold up-to-date ISO certifications and have also earned the rigorous WEEELABEX certification for Collection & Logistics. This allows us to ensure the highest quality recycling and the lowest possible environmental impact. Choose a professional and certified company when having your old servers disposed of. 

At Krommenhoek, you can be sure that old servers will be recycled to the highest possible standard. Old servers are processed by our fully certified partners. This creates the cleanest material streams, resulting in the highest value.

Disassembly is performed exclusively by well-trained staff. Krommenhoek Metals works closely with a sheltered workshop. Safety and high recycling rates are of the utmost importance in this process. The disassembly hall employs people from all kinds of backgrounds, many of whom face barriers to entering the labor market. An electronics disassembly workshop is ideally suited to providing suitable employment for various vulnerable groups. Krommenhoek’s disposal of old servers is therefore good for both the environment and society. 

Is your organization looking to turn in a large batch of old servers? If so, please take advantage of our pickup service.

There’s no need to pack anything. We’ll take care of that for you when we come by, using our own packing materials. Of course, we can also take any related peripherals, cables, or other electronics with us right away. Easy, right?

This pickup service is free in the following cases:

  • at least five servers that are no more than five years old and suitable for reuse, or
  • At least 250 kg of servers, peripheral equipment, cabling, and other electronic equipment.

With those quantities, we can use the residual value of the equipment to cover our pickup costs. And when it comes to very large batches, there may even be a profit in it for you! Contact us for a proposal.

Returning Old Servers

Returning or Disposing of Old Servers

Is your network infrastructure due for an upgrade? Do you want to get rid of old servers, or do you have other surplus network equipment, such as switches, tape drives, or UPS/emergency power supplies?

Krommenhoek Metals can dispose of your old servers. For orders of ten or more, we’ll even do it completely free of charge! Small quantities can be dropped off at our drop-off location without an appointment. Do you have larger quantities? Please contact us for a personalized quote. 

Sell Old Servers

Do you have more than ten servers that are no more than five years old? We may be able to buy them from you. That way, your old hardware will still be of some value, and its useful life will be extended. Krommenhoek Metals will thoroughly inspect your old servers and network equipment. Of course, all data that can be traced back to individuals and companies will be removed. If needed, we can also remove data storage media from old equipment and certify their destruction or erasure. 

Would you like more information about buying used servers? Please contact us. 

How to Safely Return Your Servers

For individual servers or half a rack, we arrange a pickup service with secure transportation from your location. For complete decommissioning projects, our technicians come on-site to dismantle servers, record asset tags, and seal everything for transport. We schedule an inspection in advance so you know what’s happening and when.

Data security is crucial for servers. All hard drives and SSDs are separated, physically destroyed, and documented on a Certificate of Destruction that includes serial numbers. In addition, we provide a chain-of-custody report from the site to the recycling facility. The entire process is WEEELABEX-certified and complies with the requirements of ISO 27001 environments.
