Device recycling & buyback

Retire your old devices —
securely, and get paid for them.

When phones and tablets come off your fleet, they shouldn’t pile up in a drawer or get tossed with their data still on them. Neura collects retired devices, wipes them to certified standards, recovers their value through buyback and trade-in, and recycles the rest responsibly — with the certificates to prove it. Carrier-neutral, AI-native, at any fleet size.

Recover

Value recovery & reporting

Working devices are graded and quoted for buyback or trade-in — you get cash or credit back instead of paying to throw hardware away, plus the paperwork your finance and ESG teams can use.

How we get the numbers

Built by wireless veterans, checked against real rate cards

No black box. Here's exactly how we source the winning setup — and why you can trust the number.

SOURCES · FCC BROADBAND FACTS · CARRIER RATE CARDS · LIVE PROMOS
  • Decades in the carrier channel

    We've worked the carrier side of business wireless. We know exactly how business plans are priced — and where the cost hides.

  • Checked against real rate cards

    We compare against carriers' published FCC Broadband Facts labels and current promos — sourced, not guessed.

  • Carrier-neutral by design

    We carry every major carrier, so the comparison has no agenda — we answer to you, not a carrier quota.

  • A human verifies every number

    Software drafts the analysis; a wireless veteran checks it before it ever reaches you.

Where this fits

The last step of the lifecycle — closing the loop

Part of managed mobility

Recycling is the back end of the managed mobility lifecycle. The same devices we deploy ready-to-use, we collect and retire responsibly when they age out.

Partner-delivered ITAD

We’re asset-light and honest about it: Neura doesn’t own recycling depots. A certified ITAD partner (R2 / e-Stewards) does the physical wipe, refurbishment, and recycling — we orchestrate and report.

Value recovered, not lost

Instead of paying to dispose of hardware, you get buyback and trade-in credit back. The economics of retiring a fleet flip from a cost to a recovery.

Carrier-neutral, no minimums

No carrier agenda, no 10,000-device minimum. The full secure-wipe and recovery process applies whether you’re retiring a dozen devices or a few hundred.

FAQ

Recycling & buyback, answered

Is my data wiped securely? +

Yes. Every device is sanitized to recognized data-wipe standards before it is resold or recycled, and you receive a certificate of destruction. Any drive that can’t be reliably wiped is physically destroyed instead — with documentation either way. The whole chain is tracked by serial number, so nothing slips through unwiped.

Do we get money back? +

Often, yes. Working devices are graded and quoted for buyback or trade-in, and you get cash or account credit instead of paying disposal fees. Older or damaged hardware with no resale value is recycled responsibly at no cost to you. You see the recovery estimate before anything ships.

How is this different from consumer trade-in? +

Consumer trade-in is one phone at a time, no data guarantees, and no paperwork. This is fleet-grade ITAD: bulk collection across sites, certified data wipe with certificates of destruction, full chain-of-custody, and a compliance and sustainability report your finance and ESG teams can actually use.

Who actually does the recycling? +

Neura is asset-light and carrier-neutral — we don’t own recycling depots. The physical wipe, refurbishment, and recycling are handled by a certified ITAD partner (R2 and/or e-Stewards), and our agents orchestrate collection, value recovery, and reporting around it. You get the certified outcome without onboarding a vendor yourself.

What size fleet is this for? +

Any size — there is no minimum. Whether you’re retiring a dozen devices or a few hundred, you get the full secure-wipe, value-recovery, and certified-recycling process.
