Chromebooks don't last forever. When devices near end-of-life or no longer are used by your school district, a Chromebook buyback program lets you recover value instead of paying for disposal or letting devices collect dust in storage rooms.
Most school districts are sitting on Chromebooks worth more than they realize. Our Chromebook buyback program provides competitive pricing based on current secondary market values—money that goes directly back to your technology budget.
End the cycle of devices piling up in closets and warehouses. Our Chromebook buyback program handles the full process—from pickup coordination to final payment—so you can clear space and close out old inventory.
Devices that go through our Chromebook buyback program are either refurbished for continued use or responsibly recycled. Either way, you're keeping e-waste out of landfills while recovering value for your district.
How It Works
From initial quote to payment, our Chromebook buyback program is designed around school district workflows.
Tell us what Chromebooks you're looking to offload. A simple spreadsheet with models, quantities, and general condition is all we need to provide a Chromebook buyback quote, usually within one business day.
Our Chromebook buyback program includes prepaid shipping labels for smaller shipments or coordinated freight pickup for larger fleet refreshes. We work around your school calendar and IT team availability, along with being able to come on site to prepare larger buybacks.
All Chromebooks in our buyback program are factory reset and wiped. While Chromebooks store most data in the cloud, we ensure local storage is cleared and provide confirmation for your records.
Each Chromebook is tested and graded based on functionality and cosmetic condition. Our Chromebook buyback program accepts devices in any condition— working, damaged screens, missing keys, or broken.
You receive serial-level breakdowns showing exactly how each Chromebook was graded and valued. This makes reconciliation with your device management system straightforward for IT and finance teams.
Once processing is complete, payment is issued promptly via check or electronic transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our Chromebook buyback program accepts all major brands including HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer, ASUS, and Samsung. We buy devices in any condition—working, damaged screens, missing keys, or broken. If it's a Chromebook, we want it.
In most cases, we cannot offer value for devices that are past their Auto Update Expiration, but can still take them in for complimentary recycling alongside devices that still have a useful life.
Before shipping, we ask that you deprovision Chromebooks from your Google Admin console. This removes enterprise enrollment so devices can be reused. This straightforward process ensures that the devices are no longer associated with your school district and can freely be used by the next user.
For larger Chromebook buyback projects, we can coordinate pickup from multiple locations or work with your central collection point—whichever is easier for your district's logistics.
This largely depends on the size of the buyback. Of course, a shipment of a few hundred Chromebooks will be processed faster than a shipment of a few thousand Chromebooks. Regardless, we'll keep you updated along the way.
