About ROC Telecom
The same speed and precision that built your data center should retire it. For over 15 years, ROC Telecom has done exactly that, a Texas-based IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) company decommissioning, recovering, and recycling enterprise and hyperscale infrastructure under one accountable chain of custody, turning what you retire into recovered capital and audit-ready records.
That standard starts at the top. Founder Bailey Shrum learned the trade alongside his father as a teenager, and that hands-on expertise still drives every project. He stays personally involved in each engagement, backed by a skilled team that mobilizes on projects nationwide from our San Antonio facility. With ROC Telecom, you get a rare thing in this industry: an owner who personally answers for the outcome, not an account rep.

R2v3 Certified Equipment Recycling
Why work with us?
We built ROC Telecom to do what most ITAD providers won't: handle decommissioning, asset recovery, and recycling entirely under our own roof. From our San Antonio facility, your equipment moves through one accountable chain of custody and never gets brokered out to a string of downstream recyclers you can't see or verify. That control is what lets us recover more value, document every step, and offset the cost of a decom, sometimes covering it completely on the right volume.
- Decom projects that can pay for themselves, with offsets reaching $0
- Nationwide crews mobilized in as little as 48 hours
- In-house dismantling that delivers 3x the carbon savings of a standard ITAD
- Higher recovery through specialist buybacks and a direct carrier network
- Certified workflows across R2v3, RIOS, NIST 800-88, and ITAR
- Serialized Certificates of Destruction and per-project assay reports
- One accountable U.S. chain of custody, from cage to certificat

Common Questions
ROC Telecom brings over 15 years of IT Asset Disposition experience. Founder Bailey Shrum learned the trade alongside his father as a teenager, and that hands-on background shapes how every project is run today.
We’re headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, where we operate our processing facility. We work nationwide, deploying secure logistics and field teams across the U.S. with no geographic restriction, including 48-hour rapid-response mobilization.
We handle decommissioning, asset recovery, and recycling entirely in-house under one accountable chain of custody, rather than brokering work downstream. That vertical integration is what lets us offset decom costs, recover more value, and back every project with R2v3, RIOS, NIST 800-88, and ITAR-grade standards.
Yes. We combine specialized expertise with real operational capacity: a trained team and processing facility in San Antonio, secure nationwide logistics, and the ability to mobilize a decom team in as little as 48 hours.
We focus on enterprise and hyperscale networking and optical infrastructure: routing, switching, optical transport, chassis, and line cards from manufacturers like Cisco, Juniper, Ciena, Arista, and NVIDIA. As operators retire legacy gear to make room for GPU and AI fabric, we recover the value most generalist ITAD vendors leave behind and put it back toward your next-cycle buildout.
