UPS Battery Recycling
Safe, compliant UPS and battery backup recycling. All brands accepted free. Lead-acid and lithium batteries properly processed.
UPS (uninterruptible power supply) units contain hazardous batteries that cannot go in regular trash or standard recycling. EverTrade Electronics provides free UPS recycling for all brands and sizes — from small desktop units to large rack-mounted data center systems. We safely separate batteries for processing by certified battery recyclers and recycle the electronic components through our standard e-waste stream.

Absolutely. We accept ups & batteries in any condition — working, broken, water-damaged, cracked screens, or missing parts. There is still value in the materials.
