Server buyback
Whale Recycling buys old servers, offers high residual value, certified data destruction and logistical convenience, and contributes to the circular economy.
Buyer of old servers
Do you have old servers you want to hand in? Let Whale Recycling buy your old servers. That way your old servers can be used again and you receive a solid residual value. Selling servers is not only sustainable, it is financially attractive too.
Do you have a large batch of old servers you want to sell? Send us the details of your batch and receive a price indication straight away. You can get in touch through the contact form or send us a few photos on WhatsApp.
Why sell your old servers?
Old servers often still hold considerable residual value. Even servers that are technically outdated or show defects contain valuable components that can be reused or recycled perfectly well. Think of hard drives, power supplies, processors and memory modules.
By selling your old servers to Whale Recycling you receive a good financial payment and you prevent valuable materials from being lost. At the same time you reduce your ecological footprint, save storage space in your premises and avoid potential data risks.

What is a server made of?
A server consists of various valuable components that we process carefully at Whale Recycling. A server mainly contains hard drives for data storage, memory modules (RAM), processors (CPUs) and power supplies. A server also holds circuit boards containing high-grade materials such as gold, silver, palladium and platinum. In addition, servers are fitted with batteries. These are hazardous parts that must be removed responsibly before the circuit boards can be shredded. When dismantling servers we take all these different components into account, so that each one is processed or reused in the right way.
