Takeback and Recycle

The Cisco Takeback and Recycle program helps businesses dispose properly of surplus products that have reached their end of useful life. The program is open to all business users of Cisco equipment and its associated brands and subsidiaries.

Legislative and environmental factors, combined with the desire to implement the latest technology, present many companies with the challenge of managing technology surpluses. Under the Cisco Takeback and Recycle program:

• Equipment returned to Cisco is disposed of in an environmentally safe manner.
• Disposal processes comply with all applicable regulations.
• All Cisco branded products are accepted.
• On request, Cisco works with customers to dispose of competitors' or other IT products.

On request, Cisco can provide a Certificate of Destruction that releases the customer from further liability for equipment returned through the Cisco Takeback and Recycle program.
