At Early Upgrade, we believe electronics deserve more than a one-way trip to landfill.

Since 2009, we’ve been reimagining the life cycle of mobile devices and consumer electronics — extending their value, reclaiming parts, and keeping e-waste out of emissions-heavy scrap streams.

Whether it’s forward distribution, secure IT asset disposition, or high-quality refurbishment, our mission stays the same: maximize reuse, minimize impact. We don’t just recycle, we help tech live on, and do more.

Our 95,000 sq. ft. headquarters in Jacksonville, FL is R2v3 and NAID AAA certified, the gold  standard for secure, sustainable processing. From here, we support ITAD partners, recyclers, mobile networks, trade-in programs, e-tailers, manufacturers, government agencies, and more.

When you work with Early Upgrade, you’re not just making a smart business choice, you’re helping build a cleaner, more circular electronics industry. Together, we can power a future that’s better for people and the planet.
