Extend the Value of Every Device with Trade-In
Reduce the cost of your next technology refresh by trading in eligible Apple devices.Sync’s trade-in programme helps schools unlock the residual value in existing iPad, Mac and other technology, putting it towards the cost of new devices.
Our team can help you assess your current fleet, receive a quote and arrange collection, making the process straightforward to manage. Through reuse, repurpose and recycle services, old technology is processed responsibly rather than going to waste. Where devices no longer hold trade-in value, they can still be recycled responsibly.
This supports both budget planning and sustainability goals, while helping ensure your technology remains current and ready to support learning. By building trade-in into your refresh strategy, you can make every device work harder for your school.
