Electronic scrap buyers in Tijuana

What electronic scrap is and what we buy

Electronic scrap — e-scrap — is all the equipment and electronic components your company retires that still hold value because of the metals they contain: copper, aluminum and, above all, the precious metals (gold, silver, palladium) present in circuit boards and connectors. Instead of paying to dispose of it, your company can recover part of that value by selling it to a specialized buyer.

We buy virtually any business-origin electronic scrap:

• Printed circuit boards (PCB)
• Processors, RAM and modules
• Retired computers, laptops and servers
• Switches, routers and network equipment
• Hard drives (HDD) and solid-state drives (SSD)
• Power supplies, cabling and copper harnesses
• Production scrap (maquila)
• Components and manufacturing-line waste
• Telecom equipment
• Mixed corporate e-waste lots

Who do I sell my electronic scrap to in Tijuana?

If your company, maquiladora or institution operates in Tijuana or the border region, you can sell it to us. We are a 100% B2B recycler: we appraise the material, collect it at your facilities and close the purchase with documentation. We do not buy from individuals — we work with corporate-level volumes and traceability, exactly what a purchasing, finance or compliance team needs to justify the transaction.

What determines the price of electronic scrap

The price is not a fixed number "per kilo": it depends on what is inside the lot. The factors that drive the valuation are:

• Recoverable-metal content. Gold, silver, palladium, copper and aluminum; the more precious metal, the higher the value.
• International market prices. Metals are paid at market price (London Metal Exchange), which changes daily.
• Type and quantity of components. A pallet of circuit boards is not worth the same as a pallet of enclosures or plastics.
• Condition and volume. The material’s state and the total size of the lot shape the offer.

Which electronic scrap is worth the most

Not all scrap is equal. From highest to lowest value, roughly:

• Circuit boards (PCB), processors and RAM. The most valuable, for their gold and precious-metal content.
• Copper. Cables, coils, heat sinks and harnesses — a highly traded non-ferrous metal.
• Other non-ferrous metals. Aluminum and recoverable metal mixes.
• Cases, enclosures and plastics. The lowest value, though we manage them too.

How to sell your electronic scrap to Tianlu

Selling your scrap is simple and documented from start to finish:

1. 1

   Contact and material description

   You tell us what you have (equipment type, approximate quantity, number of sites) and share photos if you can. That is enough for us to give you initial guidance.

2. 2

   Valuation and offer

   We appraise the lot by its recoverable-metal content and current international market prices. You get a transparent purchase offer — not a misleading flat "price per kilo".

3. 3

   Pickup with chain of custody

   Once the purchase is agreed, we schedule the logistics and collect the material at your facilities in Tijuana or the border region, with a documented chain of custody.

4. 4

   Data destruction and closing

   If any equipment contains storage, we destroy the data before processing. We close the purchase with the agreed payment terms and the corresponding certificates.

Sell without exposing your data

Recovering value should not cost you an information leak. Every device with storage capacity — drives, servers, multifunction printers with memory — goes through certified data destruction with methods aligned to the NIST 800-88 standard and a per-serial-number certificate, before processing. Selling scrap and protecting your data are not opposites: they are part of the same service.

The border advantage: sell your scrap locally

For U.S. companies with nearshoring operations in Baja California, selling scrap locally beats shipping it back across the border: no customs overhead, no unnecessary transport of data-bearing equipment, and a bilingual process with purchase documentation your headquarters can file. See our cross-border ITAD page for the full picture.

Sell or recycle? Which one you need

If your material has recoverable value, the best move is to sell it to a buyer and recover part of your investment. But if what you need is to dispose of electronic waste in compliance with Mexican regulation — with a RAEE management plan and disposal documentation — that is a different service. Often the right answer is both: we buy what has value and give a responsible, documented disposal to the rest.

Ready to recover value from your retired equipment? Message us on WhatsApp or through the contact page with an idea of the material type and quantity, and we will send you a valuation. Have equipment that still works? Then it is not scrap — you are better off selling it as used IT equipment, which is valued for reuse and pays considerably more (servers and network gear included).
