Sell your used IT equipment — we buy it and pay you.
Maxicom buys used and surplus business IT across Canada and pays you for the value inside it — servers, laptops, networking, storage, memory, CPUs, GPUs and components, working or not. Send us your list, get a written offer in CAD against your PO, and we wipe the data and arrange collection as part of the deal. This is a business and bulk service — resellers, ITADs and MSPs welcome.
If it's business IT, we're a buyer for it.
Most businesses treat retired IT as a disposal cost — a scrap dealer weighs it for metal, or a recycler charges a fee to shred it. Both throw away the real value: the memory, processors, drives and components inside, which stay in demand on the secondary market long after a fleet is retired. We're built to recover that value, so we pay you for the gear and still handle the data destruction and collection. The lines below are the categories we buy most; each links to a deeper page.
Servers & data-centre
Rack, blade, tower and GPU servers, whole rooms and single racks — decommissioned, refreshed or surplus.
AI & GPU hardware
Data-centre GPUs and AI systems — the highest-value inputs we buy. Whole nodes or loose accelerators.
Memory & CPUs
Server memory and processors — often the densest value in a retired fleet. Loose or populated.
Storage & drives
SAN, NAS, disk shelves and loose drives — enterprise HDD, SSD and NVMe, with data destroyed first.
Networking
Switches, routers, firewalls and optics — from a wiring closet to a full network refresh.
Laptops & desktops
Business laptops, desktops and workstations in fleets — the everyday refresh volume.
Components & chips
Boards, PSUs, GPUs, optics, RAID/HBA cards and loose ICs — surplus, pulls or excess inventory.
IT scrap
The low end — mixed, broken or truly end-of-life IT that's past reuse. We take it responsibly, reuse-first.
The three ways to clear business IT.
Same clean, documented outcome — but only one pays you for the value instead of charging you to destroy it.
| Scrap dealer | Shredder-only recycler | Maxicom | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Do you get paid? | A little, by metal weight | No — you pay a fee | Yes — for the value inside, in CAD against your PO |
| Data destruction | Not reliably | Shredding only | NIST 800-88 / IEEE 2883 + certificate of destruction |
| Collection | You deliver | Sometimes, for a fee | Arranged, GTA & nationwide, in the deal |
| Where the gear goes | Crushed for metal | Crushed | Reused first; residual to licensed recyclers |
| Auditor paperwork | None | Basic | Certificate + chain of custody |
Working, faulty or end-of-life — one deal.
- Whole estates — office clear-outs, closures, data-centre exits, lease returns and refreshes.
- Mixed lots — a rack here, a room there, a pallet of loose components — we sort it.
- Any condition — powered and tested, faulty, or dead-on-arrival; the value is usually inside either way.
- Trade stock — reseller surplus, distributor overstock, ITAD/MSP client estates, on NDA.

Businesses and the trade.
Businesses clearing their own IT
Offices and corporates, IT teams on a refresh, and data-centre, banking, healthcare, government and education teams retiring hardware across the Toronto/GTA, Montréal, Ottawa, Calgary and Vancouver corridors.
The trade — resellers, ITADs, MSPs
Some of our best supply. Resellers, distributors, ITADs and MSPs sell us surplus and client estates on NDA — and many buy refurbished stock back from us. We keep resellers' stock moving through our network, never back into their market.
Nothing is resold until your data is destroyed.
Every data-bearing drive is sanitized before anything moves on — it's what makes selling retired IT safe, so it's built into the deal rather than sold as an add-on.
Selling used IT — the short answers.
Do you buy used IT, or charge to take it away?
What kinds of IT do you buy?
How do you price the offer?
Is there a minimum?
What happens to my data?
Do you collect, and who pays for it?
Do you buy from resellers and ITADs?
See what your used IT is worth.
