Excel Recycling purchases all brands — including Cisco Catalyst, Cisco Nexus, Juniper EX, Juniper QFX, Aruba (HPE), FortiGate, Brocade, HP ProCurve, Extreme Networks, Huawei, Avaya, Ruckus, Palo Alto Networks, and Meraki — in any condition: functional, end-of-life, or faulty.

Data sanitisation to NIST 800-88 standard and a certificate of destruction available on request.

What Network Equipment We Buy
Excel Recycling specialises in enterprise and datacenter-grade networking hardware. We do not buy home routers or consumer-grade equipment — only commercial and carrier-class devices.
Cisco
We buy the full Cisco networking range, including:
- Cisco Catalyst — 2960, 3560, 3750, 3850, 9200, 9300, 9400, 9500 series
- Cisco Nexus — 2000, 5000, 7000, 9000 series (ACI-capable)
- Cisco ASR & ISR routers — 1000, 4000 series
- Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects — 6200, 6300, 6400 series
- Cisco SFP, QSFP, and DAC cable assemblies accepted alongside hardware
Juniper Networks
Juniper EX series access and aggregation switches (EX2300, EX3400, EX4300, EX4600), QFX series data centre switches (QFX5100, QFX5110, QFX10002), and SRX series firewalls are all purchased. End-of-life and end-of-support units are welcome.
Aruba (HPE) & HP ProCurve
We buy Aruba 2530, 2540, 2930, 3810, 5400R, and CX series switches, as well as legacy HP ProCurve models. Aruba wireless controllers and access points purchased alongside switching hardware are also accepted.
Fortinet & Brocade
FortiGate firewalls across all appliance tiers — from branch FG-60 series to data centre FG-3000 series — are purchased. Brocade ICX campus switches and SAN switches (including FC directors) are also accepted.
What Condition Do Switches Need to Be In?
Excel Recycling buys used network switches in all conditions: fully functional, powered-off with unknown status, missing SFPs, rack-pull, or cosmetically damaged. We assess each unit on-site. Non-working hardware still holds residual value in components and precious metals — you do not need to test equipment before calling us.
How the Selling Process Works
Selling redundant networking hardware to Excel Recycling takes four steps.
- Send your inventory list — WhatsApp a photo of your rack or a spreadsheet of model numbers to +971 54 750 6638. Include quantities and an honest condition note.
- Receive a quote — We respond with a cash offer, typically within a few hours on business days.
- Agree on a collection time — We schedule a free pickup at your premises anywhere in the UAE, including Dubai DIFC, Abu Dhabi KIZAD, Sharjah Industrial Area, Jebel Ali Free Zone, and all other locations.
- Get paid on the spot — Our team collects the equipment and pays cash before leaving your site. No waiting, no invoices, no delays.

There is no minimum quantity. Whether you have a single decommissioned Cisco 9500 or a full rack of Nexus 7000 chassis, the process is identical.
Data Security Before Handover
Enterprise network switches store configuration data, VLAN tables, routing tables, SSH keys, SNMP community strings, and sometimes AAA credentials in NVRAM and flash. This data must be wiped before disposal.
Excel Recycling recommends that your IT team perform a factory reset and configuration erase on all devices before collection. For organisations that cannot perform this internally, we offer on-site data destruction aligned with NIST 800-88 guidelines, including physical destruction of storage components where required. A certificate of destruction is available on request, supporting your internal audit trail and UAE data protection compliance obligations.

For more on the NIST 800-88 standard for media sanitisation, refer to the official publication at nist.gov.
This makes Excel Recycling a suitable partner for banks, telcos, healthcare organisations, and government entities operating in the UAE that require documented asset disposal records.

Why Sell Networking Hardware Rather Than Store It
Decommissioned switches depreciate quickly. A Cisco Nexus 9300 that fetches a strong resale price today will be worth significantly less in 12 months as newer generations arrive and the secondary market adjusts. Storing redundant rack equipment also occupies data centre floor space that carries a real cost per square metre, particularly in Dubai and Abu Dhabi facilities.
Selling through Excel Recycling converts idle hardware into cash immediately, removes the liability of unsecured data storage on forgotten devices, and ensures equipment is handled responsibly rather than sent to general waste — which may breach UAE environmental regulations on electronic waste disposal.
