Trade in an old UPS for an APC unit and earn a rebate. We'll then sustainably recycle your old unit, free of charge.
Protect your uptime, and the planet

Each year, Australians generate more than 140,000 tonnes of E-waste*.
As one of the world's most sustainable companies, APC want to help you reduce e-waste by recycling your old UPS units – free of charge.
You'll also earn a rebate on selected APC UPS units and service warrenties. When you upgrade from a lead acid battery UPS to an APC Lithium-ion battery model you'll minimise maintenance, reduce onsite visits and lower your operating costs.
