Is your school or university sitting on a pile of outdated Chromebooks? You’re not alone! Many educational institutions face the same challenge—what to do with aging technology once it reaches the end of its useful life. In this video, we break down why trading in old Chromebooks is the smartest move your school can make.

Chromebooks are a popular choice in classrooms because they’re affordable, easy to manage, and integrate seamlessly with Google’s education tools. However, once these devices hit their Auto Update Expiration (AUE) date, they stop receiving security patches and software updates. This not only impacts performance but also creates cybersecurity risks that schools simply can’t afford.

Rather than stockpiling outdated devices or contributing to the growing e-waste problem, schools have a better option—partnering with DES Technologies. Our Chromebook Buyback Program is designed to help schools recover financial value, protect sensitive student data, and support sustainability goals all in one simple process.

In this video, you’ll learn how DES Technologies securely wipes all data, provides fair market value for your devices, and handles R2v3-certified recycling or refurbishment. The best part? Your school can reinvest those funds into newer, faster Chromebooks while ensuring you stay compliant with data protection regulations.

Plus, we’ll share how participating in a buyback program supports digital equity by giving refurbished devices a second life—helping students and organizations who need affordable tech solutions.

If your school is ready to upgrade responsibly and maximize value, watch the full video to learn how our Buyback Program works. Don’t let those old Chromebooks sit unused—turn them into funding for your next technology refresh!
