Sell your IT scrap — we look for value before weight.
Even truly end-of-life IT is worth more than metal weight if someone looks properly first. Maxicom buys mixed IT scrap, dead units, boards and cabling across Canada, recovers whatever value is left, and routes the genuine residual to licensed recyclers — reuse-first, and paid in CAD where there's value to pay for.
“Scrap” is often worth more than a scrap dealer will tell you.
A scrap yard weighs your IT and pays for metal. Before it gets to that, most loads still contain memory, processors, drives, cards and boards worth recovering. We sort first, pay for what has value, destroy any data, and only then route the genuine residual to licensed recyclers — reuse-first, not shred-first.
Mixed IT scrap
Pallets and gaylords of mixed retired IT — sorted for value before recycling.
Dead & EOL units
Non-working systems still carrying part and component value.
Boards, cabling & metal
The genuine low end — recovered responsibly through licensed partners.
The bottom of the pile, handled right.
- Mixed & unsorted loads — we do the sorting and pay for what has value
- Dead and end-of-life units — still worth more than weight until someone checks
- Data-bearing scrap — drives destroyed to standard before anything moves on
- Business volumes — pallets, gaylords and truckloads, not single items
Four steps, and you get paid.
Send your list
A spreadsheet, an inventory, or just photos. No formatting needed.
Get a written quote
A firm offer in CAD against your PO, priced to the live secondary market.
We collect
Collection arranged GTA-wide and nationwide, on a documented chain of custody.
You get paid
Data wiped, a certificate of destruction issued, settled in CAD.
Nothing is resold until your data is destroyed.
Even scrap loads contain data-bearing drives. Those are sanitized to standard or physically destroyed before anything is recycled, with a certificate — so “scrap” never becomes a data leak.
How we price it — and how to get the best number.
Send an accurate list and you get an accurate price. What moves the offer on a IT scrap load is specific: the exact make, model and generation; the specification (processors, memory, capacity, ports or media); condition and completeness; the quantity and how matched the lot is; and current demand on the secondary market. Data-bearing media also has to be destroyed, which we build into the deal rather than charge for on top. The more precise your list, the sharper and faster the written CAD number comes back.
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.
