Mobile Phone and Tablet Recycling
Mobile devices combine dense data with strong per-unit resale, but both depend on the device being released from management first.
How we handle phones and tablets
- 01
Lock and enrollment checked
Activation Lock, FRP and MDM checked first. Unreleased devices are reported so you can release them.
- 02
Sanitization verified
A verified reset on an encrypted device destroys the key. We confirm it completed rather than trusting the screen.
- 03
Batteries assessed
Swollen or damaged lithium cells isolated immediately as a fire risk.
- 04
Graded or destroyed
Released devices are graded for resale. Anything still locked is physically destroyed.
Materials recovered
- Lithium-ion cells
- Boards with high gold and rare earth density
- Aluminum housings
- Display glass and panel assemblies
- Copper
Standards that apply
- R2v3 downstream chain and focus materials
- NIST SP 800-88 aligned verification
- US DOT 49 CFR lithium transport
What it is realistically worth
The highest per-unit resale in a typical refresh, and the steepest depreciation, so timing matters. Releasing devices from MDM before collection is the highest-return five minutes in the process.
