E-waste recycling · Canada-wide

Business e-waste recycling that pays you first.

Most e-waste recyclers charge you to shred your old IT. Maxicom starts the other way round: we recover the value that's still in your retired equipment and pay you for it, destroy the data to standard, and route only the genuine residual to licensed recyclers. Reuse-first, business-only, across Canada.

Business e-waste & IT recycling in Canada

Recycling should be the last step, not the first.

Shredding a working server or a fleet of laptops destroys value and emits carbon for no reason. We reverse the order: assess and reuse what can be reused (and pay you for it), destroy the data on everything, and recycle only what's genuinely at end of life through licensed partners. It's cleaner, it's better documented, and it pays instead of charging.

Reuse-first triage

Every item assessed for reuse before anything is recycled — the value stays in the economy, and in your budget.

We pay for value

Servers, laptops, storage, networking and components with resale value are bought, in CAD — not shredded for a fee.

Data destroyed

Every data-bearing drive sanitized to NIST 800-88 / IEEE 2883 or physically destroyed, with a certificate.

Licensed residual recycling

What's genuinely end-of-life goes to licensed recyclers for responsible material recovery.

What we don't claim

Honest about our recycling.

We think a little honesty is worth more than a wall of logos. So, plainly: we route genuine residual e-waste to licensed recycler partners — we do not claim R2v3 or e-Stewards certification ourselves, and we don't display certification marks we don't hold. We don't claim “zero landfill” or invented tonnage figures. What we do claim is real: reuse-first handling, data destroyed to NIST 800-88 and IEEE 2883, a certificate for every drive, and a documented chain of custody.

Who we help

Business e-waste, not household drop-off.

Businesses & institutions

Offices, data centres, banks, healthcare, government and schools clearing retired IT responsibly — with the paperwork their auditor and privacy officer expect.

Resellers, ITADs & MSPs

The trade routing client-estate residual and surplus through a reuse-first buyer, on NDA.

Data security

Nothing is resold until your data is destroyed.

Responsible recycling and data security are the same job: nothing is recycled or resold until the data on it is destroyed to standard, with a certificate for every drive.

Why Maxicom

Why sellers choose Maxicom.

We pay, we don't charge

Value recovered and paid in CAD against your PO — not a disposal fee. That single difference is the whole point.

We buy at the source

Direct from businesses, decommissions and the trade — so prices are keener and stock has a known history.

Honest about data & certs

NIST 800-88 / IEEE 2883 with a certificate per drive. No R2, e-Stewards, ISO or NAID AAA badges we don't hold.

We take the whole lot

Mixed conditions, faulty units, whole estates — one deal, not cherry-picking the easy items.

We respect the trade

Resellers' and ITADs' stock moves through our network on NDA, never back into your own market.

Documented, audit-ready

A written line-item offer, chain of custody, and certificates — the paperwork your auditor and privacy officer expect.

Questions

The short answers.

Do you charge to recycle e-waste?
For business IT with resale value, no — we pay you for what's worth recovering and handle the rest. Where a load is genuinely end-of-life with no value, we'll tell you honestly and route it to licensed recyclers.
Is this for household e-waste?
No — this is a business and bulk service for company IT. Household e-waste is best taken to your provincial stewardship program (for example EPRA / Recycle My Electronics).
How is my data handled?
Every data-bearing drive is sanitized to NIST 800-88 / IEEE 2883 with a certificate of destruction, or physically destroyed if it can't be wiped, before anything is reused or recycled.
Are you R2 or e-Stewards certified?
We do not claim R2 or e-Stewards certification. We route genuine residual to licensed recycler partners and are transparent about exactly what we do and don't hold.
What happens to equipment that still works?
It's reused — refurbished and remarketed, or its components recovered — which is why we can pay you rather than charge you. Reuse-first is the whole point.
Do you provide certificates and chain of custody?
Yes — a certificate of destruction per drive and a documented chain of custody from collection to settlement.
Do you serve businesses across all of Canada?
Yes — we're based in Brampton, Ontario and work with businesses nationwide, with collection arranged across the GTA and the rest of Canada. Business hubs like Toronto, Montréal, Ottawa, Calgary and Vancouver are all served.
Can you sign an NDA?
Yes — NDA is standard for sensitive engagements and available on request. Confidentiality is part of how we work.
What documentation will we receive?
A documented chain of custody and a certificate of destruction per data-bearing drive — plus a written, line-item settlement where value is recovered.
