WININ accepts computer equipment for recycling in Kyiv, including desktop computers, laptops, servers, components, and office electronics. We work with both private individuals and organizations and accept anything from single devices to large batches of equipment. Collection and recycling terms are agreed after a preliminary assessment.
We dismantle non-working equipment, recover components suitable for reuse, and sort electronic scrap. Materials that cannot be reused are prepared for transfer to specialized recycling facilities. This approach helps return valuable resources to production and reduces the amount of electronic waste. Computer, Laptop and Server Recycling
What Equipment We Accept
We accept the following types of computer and electronic equipment for recycling:
- desktop computers;
- laptops;
- mini PCs;
- servers;
- server components;
- motherboards;
- processors;
- RAM modules;
- hard drives and SSDs;
- power supplies;
- networking equipment;
- routers;
- switches;
- computer cases;
- cables and peripherals;
- uninterruptible power supplies (UPS);
- projectors;
- other electronic equipment.
Even if the equipment is completely non-functional, damaged, or obsolete, it may still contain materials that can be recycled or reused.
Recycling Cost
In many cases, computer equipment recycling is free of charge for the customer.
If the equipment contains a sufficient amount of reusable components or valuable materials, we cover the costs of transportation, dismantling, sorting, and recycling.
In addition, we may offer payment for certain types of equipment. The amount depends on:
- the equipment model;
- year of manufacture;
- technical condition;
- quantity;
- composition of the batch.
If only a few computers are involved, the amount is usually modest. However, for batches consisting of dozens or hundreds of devices, the purchase value can be considerably higher. Computer, Laptop and Server Recycling
When Recycling Is a Paid Service
Some types of equipment require significantly more time and expense to dismantle and process.
These include:
- CRT monitors;
- CRT televisions;
- some older inkjet printers;
- equipment containing large amounts of plastic and glass with very little recoverable metal.
For this reason, recycling such equipment is usually a paid service.
In some cases, the cost may be reduced or fully offset if this equipment is delivered together with a larger batch of computer hardware. Computer, Laptop and Server Recycling
Why CRT Monitor Recycling Costs Money
This is one of the questions we are asked most often.
At first glance, it may seem that an old monitor can simply be dismantled and sold as scrap metal. In practice, the process is much more complicated.
Each CRT monitor contains:
- a large vacuum picture tube;
- several types of plastic;
- different grades of steel;
- copper;
- aluminum;
- electronic circuit boards;
- potentially hazardous components that require careful handling.
Dismantling a single CRT monitor takes a considerable amount of time. All materials must be separated, sorted, and prepared for further processing. The picture tube requires particular care because its glass enclosure is under vacuum and must be handled and recycled safely.
Additional costs also include transportation, storage, sorting, and the transfer of certain materials to specialized recycling companies.
The value of the recovered materials generally does not cover the actual costs involved in processing CRT equipment. This is why CRT recycling is usually charged separately.
Recycling Outdated Servers
We regularly receive offers involving servers manufactured 10, 20, or even more years ago.
The original purchase price of a server does not determine its current value. During assessment, we consider the model, configuration, working condition, and whether the equipment can still be used commercially.
If a server:
- is technically obsolete;
- is no longer in use;
- is not suitable for modern workloads;
- has no collectible value,
we primarily consider it equipment for dismantling and recycling.
The size and weight of a server do not automatically mean that it has a high purchase value. For equipment suitable only for recycling, the important factors are the materials it contains and the costs of dismantling, sorting, and transportation.
If you believe your server still has commercial or collectible value, we recommend trying to sell it first as working equipment. If your goal is simply to dispose of obsolete hardware responsibly instead of sending it to landfill, we are ready to accept it for recycling. Computer, Laptop and Server Recycling

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I recycle non-working equipment?
Yes. We accept non-working and damaged equipment. Whether the equipment can be purchased, accepted free of charge, or requires paid recycling depends on the model, condition, and quantity.
Can I recycle a large quantity of computers?
Yes. We work with both individual devices and batches consisting of dozens or hundreds of units.
Why do you pay for some equipment while customers have to pay for recycling other equipment?
It depends on the economics of the recycling process.
If the value of reusable components and recoverable materials covers the cost of dismantling and recycling, the service may be free or we may even pay the customer.
If the equipment requires substantial processing costs and provides little recoverable value, as is often the case with CRT monitors, recycling is charged separately.
How to Send Equipment for Recycling
Send us photos via Viber together with the equipment models, quantity, and a brief description of their condition. Please also specify your city and whether collection is required.
After a preliminary assessment, we will confirm the acceptance terms, any possible payment, and the most convenient way to transfer the equipment.
Before handing over computers, laptops, or storage devices, make sure you save any important files and remove your personal data.
