What products are accepted?

Chromebooks, laptops, desktops, monitors, smartphones, tablets, printers, telephones and more. We accept a wide selection of IT equipment; however, we cannot guarantee that all models will yield an equivalent value. Quotes are based on age and condition.

Can I trade in my units that don’t function?

Yes, absolutely. We will accept non-functioning units for recycling at a fixed rate.

Can I trade in units if they have scratches and dents?

Units with cosmetic imperfections are accepted, and we will price them accordingly.

What if I don’t know what assets I have?

We can create a preliminary quote based on the estimate of the assets you have given us. We can also produce a modified buyout price after an audit or send someone onsite to appraise your inventory.

Do I need proof of purchase before sending in my technology?

We trust schools. Proof of purchase is not required when utilizing our Bluum Lifecycle Management services.
