Sell your used servers — and get paid for them.
Maxicom buys used, surplus and decommissioned servers across Canada — rack, blade, tower and GPU servers — and pays you for the value inside: the processors, memory and drives that stay in demand long after a platform is retired. Send your configuration list, get a written offer in CAD against your PO, and we destroy the data and arrange collection as part of the deal.
A retired server is worth more than its metal.
When a platform comes out of production, most of its resale value doesn't leave with the workload — it stays in the processors, memory modules, drives and any accelerators still bolted inside. A scrap dealer weighs the chassis; a shredder-only recycler charges to crush it. We assess what's actually in the box, destroy the data, and pay you in CAD for what it's worth on the current secondary market. Below are the platforms we buy most.
Dell EMC PowerEdge
The volume workhorse of Canadian data centres — we buy current and last-generation PowerEdge across rack, tower and modular lines.
HPE ProLiant & Apollo
ProLiant DL and Apollo estates, whether refreshed, off-lease or decommissioned in bulk.
Lenovo ThinkSystem
ThinkSystem and legacy System x rack and dense nodes.
Supermicro & Cisco UCS
Supermicro SuperServer and Cisco UCS blade/rack — including GPU and hyperconverged nodes.
GPU & AI servers
Accelerated compute is the highest-value server we buy — whole nodes or the accelerators inside.
What's inside we pay for
Even a faulty server carries value in its parts — this is why "how much is my used server worth" almost always beats scrap.
Scrap it, shred it, or sell it to us.
Same secure, documented outcome — only one returns the value of the hardware to your budget.
| Scrap dealer | Shredder-only recycler | Maxicom | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Do you get paid? | By metal weight only | No — you pay a fee | Yes — for the CPUs, memory & drives, in CAD |
| Data on the drives | Not reliably handled | Shredded | NIST 800-88 / IEEE 2883 + certificate |
| Whole-rack / DC exit | Rarely | Sometimes | Single rack to multi-hall, chain of custody |
| Collection | You deliver | For a fee | Arranged, GTA & nationwide, in the deal |
From a single rack to a full decommission.
- Whole data-centre exits — multi-hall decommissions, colo move-outs, site closures, on a documented chain of custody.
- Refresh returns — last-generation fleets coming out as new platforms land.
- Single racks & loose units — a rack in a comms room, a stack of pulled nodes, off-lease returns.
- Working or faulty — powered and tested, or dead — the components inside still carry value.
Four steps, and you get paid.

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.
Every drive is destroyed before a server moves on.
Server buyback only works if the data is dealt with first — so drive sanitization and documentation are built into the deal, not sold on top.

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 your servers is specific: the exact PowerEdge/ProLiant/ThinkSystem model and generation, the CPU count and cores, how much memory, the drives and any GPUs, and condition. Quantity and matched lots help, current secondary-market demand sets the level, and any data-bearing drives are destroyed to standard as part of the deal rather than charged on top. The more precise your list — models, specs, quantities, condition — the sharper and faster the written CAD number comes back, with no automated instant-price guesswork.
Server buyback — the short answers.
How much is my used server worth?
Which server brands do you buy?
Do you buy faulty or incomplete servers?
Can you handle a whole data-centre decommission?
What happens to the data on the drives?
Do you buy from resellers and ITADs?

Send your configuration list — models, specs or photos. We'll come back with a written CAD offer, with collection and certified data destruction arranged as part of the deal.
