If your office, data center, or server room has old IT equipment piling up, you’re not alone. Businesses across Dallas-Fort Worth deal with the same problem every day — racks of decommissioned servers, closets full of old desktops, and pallets of networking gear that nobody wants to deal with. The good news is that getting rid of it doesn’t have to cost you anything or end up in a landfill.
GreenIT Pickup provides free IT equipment pickup in Dallas-Fort Worth for businesses, schools, healthcare facilities, and organizations of all sizes. We come to you, load everything up, and make sure it’s handled responsibly — whether that means refurbishment, parts recovery, or certified recycling.
Here’s how the whole process works from start to finish.
Step 1: Tell Us What You Have
The process starts with a simple inquiry. You can reach out through our website, give us a call, or send an email with a general description of the equipment you need removed. You don’t need serial numbers or a detailed inventory at this stage — just a rough idea of what you’re working with.
Common types of IT equipment we pick up across DFW include:
- Rack-mount and tower servers (Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, Lenovo ThinkSystem, etc.)
- Desktop computers and workstations
- Laptops and notebooks
- Networking equipment — switches, routers, firewalls, access points
- Storage arrays and SAN equipment
- UPS battery backup units
- Monitors and peripherals
- Loose components — hard drives, RAM, CPUs, power supplies
- Cables, rails, and rack accessories
If you’re unsure whether we’ll take something, just ask. We handle a wide range of enterprise and commercial IT hardware.
Step 2: We Evaluate and Schedule
Once we know what you have, we’ll evaluate the pickup and get you on the schedule. Most pickups across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex can be scheduled within a few business days, depending on volume and location.
We serve the entire DFW area, including:
- Dallas — Downtown, Deep Ellum, Uptown, North Dallas, Oak Cliff
- Fort Worth — Downtown, Southside, Alliance, Stockyards area
- Mid-Cities — Arlington, Grand Prairie, Irving, Las Colinas
- North DFW — Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Richardson, Garland
- South DFW — Mansfield, Cedar Hill, DeSoto, Duncanville
- West DFW — Weatherford, Benbrook, White Settlement
- East DFW — Mesquite, Rowlett, Rockwall, Terrell
Whether you’re in a downtown Dallas high-rise or a warehouse in Alliance, we’ll come to you.
Step 3: We Show Up and Handle the Heavy Lifting
On pickup day, our team arrives with the vehicle and manpower to get everything loaded efficiently. We handle the physical removal so your staff doesn’t have to. That includes:
- Pulling equipment from server racks
- Disconnecting and organizing cabling
- Palletizing or staging gear for transport
- Loading everything onto our truck
We work around your schedule and your facility’s requirements. If you need us to coordinate with building management, schedule around business hours, or use a loading dock, that’s no problem.
Step 4: Secure Data Handling
One of the biggest concerns businesses have about disposing of IT equipment is data security. Hard drives, SSDs, and other storage media can contain sensitive business data, customer records, financial information, and intellectual property. Simply deleting files or formatting a drive is not enough to prevent data recovery.
GreenIT Pickup takes data security seriously. All storage media collected during a pickup is handled with a strict chain of custody. Depending on your needs, we offer:
- Data wiping using industry-standard software that meets NIST 800-88 guidelines
- Physical destruction for drives that need to be permanently destroyed
- Certificates of data destruction for compliance and audit purposes
If your organization operates under HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOX, or any other regulatory framework that governs data handling, we can work with you to meet those requirements. You shouldn’t have to choose between convenience and compliance — and with GreenIT Pickup, you don’t.

Step 5: Responsible Disposition
After pickup, every piece of equipment goes through a triage process. Not everything that gets retired from a business is actually at end of life. In fact, a significant amount of the IT hardware we collect still has real value and useful life remaining.
Our disposition process prioritizes reuse over recycling:
- Equipment with remaining useful life is tested, cleaned, and refurbished for resale or redeployment. This keeps functional hardware in service and out of the waste stream.
- Equipment that can’t be reused whole is broken down for parts recovery. Individual components like memory, processors, and power supplies are harvested and made available to buyers who need them.
- True end-of-life equipment that has no remaining value is sent to certified recycling partners who process materials in compliance with environmental regulations.
This approach means that your old IT equipment contributes to a circular economy rather than becoming e-waste. It also means that in many cases, the residual value of the hardware is what allows us to offer the pickup service at no cost to you.
