Austin Data Center Equipment Recycling
R2v3-certified, zero-landfill recycling for data center and networking hardware across greater Austin, from a single rack to a full facility. While most ITADs broker your equipment downstream, we dismantle in-house and ship direct to the refiner, delivering 3x the carbon savings of a standard ITAD with verified mass-balance data for your sustainability team.
Austin data center recycling company
Headquartered in San Antonio, ROC Telecom provides certified, zero-landfill recycling to clients of every size across greater Austin, from growing firms to enterprise and hyperscale facilities. We treat recycling as a secure, audited material-recovery operation rather than a logistics task, with your data and your ESG reporting protected at every step.
What sets us apart is in-house dismantling. Most ITAD companies downstream your equipment to a recycler, who downstreams to another, who finally shreds it. We don’t. We perform physical data destruction, segregate precious metals, and ship direct to the refiner, all under a single accountable U.S. chain of custody. Our certified teams collect from facilities across the MET Center, Silicon Hills, Round Rock, Georgetown, and the Samsung-anchored Taylor build-out.

Why work with us?
ROC Telecom is a material-recovery partner, not a downstream broker. Standard ITADs hand your equipment through layers of recyclers before anything is shredded. We dismantle in-house, segregate by material, and ship direct to the refiner, delivering more than three times the carbon savings of a standard ITAD with verified mass-balance and on-request assay reports. Our greater Austin footprint means secure, white-glove pickup across the metro, with one accountable chain of custody from your cage to the refiner.

Austin Data Center Recycling FAQS
We pick up across the full metro: the MET Center, Silicon Hills, Round Rock, Georgetown, Hutto, Taylor, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, and San Marcos, plus surrounding enterprise and hyperscale corridors. We provide secure pickup with full chain of custody and no geographic restriction inside the metro.
No. We operate under a firm zero-landfill mandate. Equipment is dismantled in-house, segregated by material, and routed direct to refiners and certified downstream processors, with verified mass-balance data confirming where every pound went.
Most ITADs broker your equipment through layers of downstream recyclers before it’s shredded. We dismantle in-house, segregate precious metals ourselves, and ship direct to the refiner. That removes the downstream guesswork and delivers more than three times the carbon savings of a standard ITAD.
All data-bearing media is physically shredded inside our 24/7 surveilled, restricted-access facility under R2v3 secure-destruction protocols, in alignment with NIST 800-88. Every project concludes with serialized Certificates of Destruction for your records.
Yes. We recover gold, silver, copper, and palladium and route them to refiners that purify to 99.9%. On request, we deliver a full assay report showing exactly how much of each metal was recovered from your equipment and returned to remanufacturing.
We supply verified mass-balance data and on-request assay reports that feed directly into Scope 3 Category 5 and Category 12 disclosures, giving your sustainability team audited, defensible numbers for the annual report.
