Chromebook, Laptop and IT Recycling for Schools, School Boards and Universities
Device refresh cycles leave schools with carts of Chromebooks, laptops and networking gear. USACA recovers value where possible, destroys student and staff data at its facilities and documents every serial number.
Who this is for: School districts, school boards, public and private schools, colleges, universities and education technology providers.
2. What USACA can purchase
- Newer Chromebooks and laptops in volume
- Current networking equipment and servers
3. What USACA can recycle
- Devices past auto-update or end of support
- Damaged devices, displays and peripherals
- Batteries, sent to certified battery processors
4. Suitable for remarketing
- Large refresh lots of the same model

5. Destruction & reporting
Data-bearing devices are destroyed at USACA facilities (shredding; degaussing for magnetic HDDs and tapes only), with serialized Certificates of Destruction. Serial-level reports support asset reconciliation for audits and board reporting.
6. Pickup & logistics
Commercial pickup across the United States and Canada, reviewed and confirmed in writing (one skid minimum). Pickups are coordinated through USACA logistics and carrier partners; destruction happens only at USACA facilities. Pickups can be planned around school breaks.
Offers depend on product, condition, quantity and market demand; USACA does not guarantee to buy every asset.
