Chicago data center asset recovery company
ROC Telecom delivers secure, high-yield data center asset recovery across metro Chicago, the Midwest’s primary interconnection crossroads, from single-rack retirements to multi-site liquidations, with rapid mobilization throughout the metro and the broader Midwest market. Retired routing, switching, and optical infrastructure has real residual value, and most ITAD vendors leave it on the table. We operate as a specialist resale partner, recovering capital that flows straight back into your next refresh.
Backed by 15+ years and direct relationships with carriers, hyperscalers, and Fortune 500 IT operators, we source end-users directly and offer pricing brokered liquidators can’t match. Our certified teams collect from enterprise facilities across Chicago, Elk Grove Village, Aurora, Northlake, and Franklin Park, throughout the corridors that make metro Chicago the Midwest’s primary data center market. We cover all packing, shipping, and logistics, with NIST 800-88 data destruction at our secure San Antonio facility under an airtight chain of custody and zero disruption to your active operations.
