Sell E-Waste in Dubai — Free Certified Pickup From Redolent Group

Redolent collects and recycles laptops, servers, networking gear, batteries and bulk IT equipment under ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification, with NIST SP 800-88-aligned data destruction on every device.

Quick Answer

To sell or dispose of e-waste in the UAE, book a free pickup with Redolent Group via WhatsApp. A certified technician visits your home, office or warehouse, inspects the items, wipes or destroys any data on-site or at the facility, and issues a Certificate of Recycling / Data Destruction. Bulk IT assets (laptops, servers, networking equipment) in working condition often qualify for a cash buyback; non-working items are recycled free of charge.

Definition

What Counts as E-Waste?

E-waste (electronic waste) is any device with a circuit board, battery or cable that has reached the end of its working life — including laptops, desktops, servers, hard drives, SSDs, networking switches, IP phones, UPS units, printers, monitors and rechargeable batteries.

Redolent accepts both working and non-working equipment, in single units or bulk warehouse lots, from individuals, SMEs and enterprise IT departments across the UAE.

  • Laptops, desktops & workstations
  • Servers, racks & data-centre hardware

Process

How E-Waste Pickup Works, Step by Step

STEP 01

Book on WhatsApp

Send item list, quantity and location. A coordinator confirms a pickup slot, usually within 24–48 hours.

STEP 02

On-Site Inspection

A technician inspects and inventories each item, separating working assets from end-of-life units.

STEP 03

Data Destruction

Drives are wiped or physically destroyed per NIST SP 800-88, on-site for sensitive bulk lots if requested.

STEP 04

Certificate Issued

You receive a Certificate of Recycling or Data Destruction, plus payment for any qualifying buyback items.

Pricing

Does Redolent Pay for E-Waste?

Payment depends on the item's condition and material value. Working IT assets bought in bulk usually receive a cash quote; broken or low-value components are recycled at no cost to you.

FAQ

Common Questions About Selling E-Waste

Is e-waste pickup really free in Dubai?+
Yes. Redolent collects e-waste free of charge across Dubai and neighbouring emirates. If your items have resale value, you may also receive a cash payment instead of a standard free pickup.
How is my data destroyed?+
All storage media is wiped or physically destroyed in line with NIST SP 800-88 guidelines. For sensitive bulk lots, destruction can be carried out on-site before the equipment ever leaves your premises.
Can I sell broken laptops or non-working servers?+
Yes. Non-working equipment is accepted for free recycling. Working units, or units with recoverable components, may still qualify for a cash quote.
Do you provide a certificate after pickup?+
Every pickup is documented with a Certificate of Recycling or Data Destruction, suitable for internal audits and compliance records.
How quickly can pickup be arranged?+
Most pickups are scheduled within 24–48 hours of booking via WhatsApp, subject to location and quantity.
Who can use this service — individuals, SMEs, or only large companies?+
All three. Redolent handles single-item pickups from households, recurring collections for SMEs, and full office or warehouse decommissioning projects for large enterprises and government entities.
Is there a minimum quantity for pickup?+
No. Redolent collects single laptops as well as bulk warehouse lots. Larger quantities are more likely to qualify for a cash buyback quote.
What happens to the e-waste after it's collected?+
Items are sorted into reusable assets, components for recovery, and materials for compliant recycling. Nothing is sent to landfill; hazardous parts such as batteries are processed under ISO 14001 environmental controls.
Does Redolent serve banks, hospitals, or other data-sensitive industries?+
Yes. Redolent regularly works with finance, healthcare, and government clients that require on-site data destruction, chain-of-custody documentation, and audit-ready certificates before any device leaves the premises.
Can I track or verify that my device was actually destroyed?+
Yes. Each device is logged by serial number, and the resulting Certificate of Data Destruction lists the method used and date completed, giving you a verifiable record for compliance purposes.
Is it legal to throw e-waste in regular household trash in the UAE?+
No. UAE municipal regulations require electronics and batteries to be diverted from general waste due to hazardous materials like lead and lithium. Using a licensed collector such as Redolent keeps disposal compliant.
How do I get a price quote before booking pickup?+
Send photos, model numbers, and quantity over WhatsApp. A coordinator will give an estimated buyback range before confirming the pickup slot, with final pricing locked in after inspection.
