Challenge:
Yarm School is a co-educational independent day school that had accumulated a diverse surplus of networking equipment and was searching for a reliable and efficient way to dispose of it. The school’s goal was to ensure that the equipment was ethically and responsibly disposed of. It was also important to locate a buyer who could offer a fair price for the equipment.
Solution:
Our company (Flux IT Hardware) specialises in facilitating buybacks of IT equipment from businesses and educational institutions. We approached Yarm School with an offer to buy back their surplus networking equipment, including various Cisco switches. We worked closely with the school to assess the condition and value of the kit. We then offered a buyback price.
Results:
We provided a seamless and efficient process for the school to dispose of its surplus stock. Our team handled the equipment’s transportation, packing, and logistics, ensuring the equipment was transported safely and securely. By facilitating the buyback of the surplus appliances, we provided Yarm School with an agreed price for the kit while also helping them to dispose of it both ethically and responsibly.
Testimonial:
“We were pleased with the professionalism and efficiency of this company in facilitating the buyback of our surplus networking equipment. The whole process was seamless, and the team was knowledgeable and responsive. We appreciated their commitment to ethical and responsible disposal of our stock.” – Mike Sweeney, Yarm School IT Department.

How a school surplus equipment buyback works
For schools and other organisations, surplus network equipment can have a resale value even when it is no longer needed on site. The first step is to share an inventory with make, model, quantity and condition details so the equipment can be assessed. In this Yarm School project, Flux IT reviewed the surplus Cisco switches, agreed a buyback price with the school, then coordinated packing, collection and transport.
If your organisation is reviewing older network equipment, start with our IT equipment valuation and buyback service. Where equipment cannot be resold, our IT asset disposition service can help with responsible end-of-life handling. The right route depends on the equipment’s condition, data-bearing components and any requirements your organisation needs to meet.
