What happens to your old devices?

Used computers are audited, including a visual inspection followed by a diagnostic test to establish a baseline value for the device. 

Hard drives are immediately scrubbed to protect district data and student privacy.

Working units are then refurbished and sold as STS Certified Second-Life Hardware or broken down for parts. 

Remaining components are recycled or donated to local schools for mixed media art projects.

 

*Final buyback price may be lower or higher depending on the actual condition. If there are units received that are non-functioning or heavily damaged, STS will recycle them for you.

Selling your computers to STS is as simple as 1,2,3. 

  1. Submit a valuation request with the device brand, model, specs, number of units, and condition and receive a preliminary quote.  
  2. Send the devices to our facility for an audit.
  3. Receive a check or credit for a future purchase.
