Once we receive your devices, we will perform a basic functionality test, a visual inspection, and a full data wipe. We guarantee data removal on all devices, even the devices that do not function at all. Every device that we process is “cleansed” of all personal and corporate data. If we cannot guarantee removal of data, we will either destroy and recycle the device or send the device back to you at our cost.
Learn more about our BuyBack Process and see our Device Locks section for instructions on unlocking devices prior to sending to Lynx BuyBack.
Recycling and Data Security
If a device does not have any value or if a device is damaged beyond a reasonable amount, we will recycle it. Recycling your devices saves them from ending up in landfills. This is the greenest solution when it comes to disposing of old or broken devices.
We physically destroy all devices that we recycle in house prior to sending them to our downstream partner, who breaks the devices down for precious metals. By destroying the devices prior to sending them to be recycled, we guarantee all data is destroyed before the device leaves our facility.
