2nd Circuit connects organizations with verified R2-certified buyers to securely sell, reuse, or responsibly recycle surplus electronics.
We empower organizations to manage end-of-life electronics responsibly, securely, and profitably, turning idle hardware into recovered value while advancing the circular economy.
Capture the full residual value of obsolete assets instead of paying to dispose of them.

Whether you're offloading IT assets or sourcing certified inventory, every step is built around your compliance requirements.

From financial institutions to healthcare systems and certified recyclers, see why teams choose 2nd Circuit.
We refresh thousands of devices a year. 2nd Circuit let us recover real value while keeping our data-security requirements front and center. Protected-identity bidding was the deciding factor.
As an R2-certified recycler, scope-matched listings save us hours. We only see auctions we can actually fulfill, and the rating system keeps the buyer pool serious.
HIPAA-sensitive hardware means disposal can't be an afterthought. The required data-processing controls and full audit trail gave our compliance team exactly the documentation they needed.
Everything compliance, IT, and procurement teams ask before getting started.
R2 (Responsible Recycling) is a leading certification standard for electronics recyclers, covering data security, environmental practices, and downstream accountability. Every buyer on 2nd Circuit must hold a valid R2 certification before gaining access.
Seller identity and contact information stay hidden throughout bidding. Buyers bid on the inventory details, requirements, and location radius, not on who you are. Your contact info is only released once you accept a winning bid.
Sellers specify the required method as a condition of each listing, including certified data wipe (NIST 800-88), physical shredding, or full destruction. Only buyers whose scope covers your requirement can bid.
A sell listing awards inventory to the highest bidder or best profit-share offer. A recycle listing routes assets to certified recyclers; depending on material value, buyers may pay you or charge a processing cost.
The buyer and seller assume responsibility for the transaction, shipment, and compliance with applicable laws. 2nd Circuit acts solely as a facilitating marketplace and is not party to the physical transfer of goods.
Yes. The private marketplace option lets you restrict an auction to a pre-approved set of buyers, useful for government, defense, or high-sensitivity disposals.
