Buyback

Sustainability meets savings with our Technology Buyback Program

JB Hi-Fi Education has partnered with Moorup to provide a simple and secure way to recover value from your institution’s redundant and end of life technology assets.

Best of all, by ethically trading in your technology and giving it a second life, your institution will be contributing to a cleaner planet and more sustainable future.



Support your Sustainability goals

E-Waste is growing faster than any other type of waste. The Buyback Program can potentially reduce your environmental impact by creating a circular economy – a system where resources are re-used and re-cycled.



Reduce your total cost of ownership with JB Hi-Fi Education credit

With today’s market pressures, maximising business investments and minimising your total cost of ownership is key. By extracting residual value from your old or unused assets, you can receive credit on your JB Hi-Fi Education account to offset the cost of your technology upgrades.



De-risk your critical information

Data security is paramount for educational institutions. Our Buyback partner uses Blancco Mobile Diagnostics & Erasure software, compliant with ISO 27001. All erasures on your obsolete and end of life assets are verified and certified through a tamper-proof audit trail.



No additional or hidden costs

The price quoted for this service includes device collection, certified secure data erasure and e-Waste recycling, with no additional or hidden costs.

Did you know

50 million tonnes of e-waste are produced each year, and left unchecked this could more than double to 120 million tonnes by 2050.1.

The Buyback program supports a circular economy which extends the life of electronic devices, through repair, refurbishment, reuse and recycling. Bringing these principles to your institution significantly reduces the contribution of your devices to e-waste and has significant sustainability and institutional benefits.

How does it work?

We follow a simple and easy six-step process, and you can choose not to proceed at any time prior to accepting the final Buyback offer.

Step 1: Request

Contact your JB Hi-Fi Education Account Manager to request a Buyback quote. Complete and return the Buyback agreement and asset valuation template to include the relevant device make model and quantity.

Step 2: Quote

After undertaking a desktop valuation audit, Moorup will provide an indicative preliminary quote which includes collection of the assets, data erasure with certificate and recycling. The final offer is subject to an assessment by Moorup after collecting, inspecting, and grading the relevant devices.

Step 3: Confirm and prepare

If you wish to proceed, devices must be prepared for collection:

  • With all activation locks and passwords removed and the device unenrolled from Mobile Device Management (MDM)
  • Complete a factory reset, remove SD and SIM cards, and
  • Package devices for protection against damage and security

Step 4: Collection and assessment

Moorup arranges collection. Devices are assessed and those with value undergo secure data erasure. You will receive a customer assessment report and final Buyback offer. Those with no value are prepared for recycling.

Step 5: Payment

Should you accept the final offer, ownership of the assets will be transitioned to Moorup. Payment is then released to your JB Hi-Fi Education account as a credit or made as a cash payment where requested.

Step 6: Finalise

Upon completion, you will be provided with a Certificate of Data Erasure for those devices with value. For any devices that cannot be re-purposed and are securely recycled, you will receive a Recycling Summary Certificate after the recycling process has been completed.

Moorup is committed to closing the digital divide in Australia and donates 5% of devices purchased to those experiencing digital exclusion.
