Memory and processors are where most of the value in retired IT actually sits — so they're our hero supply. Maxicom buys server RAM (DDR4/DDR5 RDIMM and LRDIMM) and CPUs (Intel Xeon, AMD EPYC) across Singapore and Malaysia, loose or still in the servers, working or pulled. With Penang's electronics-manufacturing corridor and the region's data-centre density feeding constant component turnover, this is a market we buy in heavily — and we grade to the live market and pay in SGD.
A shredder-only recycler treats a memory module as a few cents of metal. On the secondary market that same registered DDR5 module can be worth many times more, and a current-generation Xeon or EPYC processor far more again. The difference is grading — identifying part numbers, testing yield, matching lots to demand — which most recyclers can't do, so they don't try. We're built around exactly that work, which is why memory and CPUs are our favourite call and why we pay the sharpest numbers on them.
Whether it arrives as loose trays from a repair operation, populated boards from a decommission, or whole servers we strip and grade for you, the outcome is the same: you get paid for what's inside, in SGD.
Part number, capacity, generation and yield set the price. A sample of what we actively buy:
South-East Asia is a component region as much as a consumer one. Penang and the wider Malaysian corridor host semiconductor assembly, test and electronics manufacturing; Singapore's data centres and enterprise estates turn over memory and processors continuously; and repair, refurbishment and ITAD operators across both markets accumulate pulled stock. All of it feeds the same secondary market we sell into — so we buy memory and CPUs from manufacturers, data-centre operators, recyclers and traders alike, and settle promptly in SGD.
| Shredder recycler | Marketplace listing | Maxicom | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What they pay | Metal weight | Whatever sells, slowly | Graded value in SGD, now |
| Loose modules | Crushed | Piece by piece | Bought by the tray |
| Faulty / untested | Scrap | Hard to move | Priced on expected yield |
| Volume lots | Same low rate | You handle each sale | One offer for the lot |
| Effort for you | Low value | High | Send a list, we do the rest |
Memory and processors hold no user data, so grading is straightforward. Where memory arrives inside whole servers, any drives in those units are sanitised to NIST 800-88 / IEEE 2883 with a certificate before anything moves, on a documented chain of custody — so a memory-and-CPU sale never becomes a data-security gap.
Every data-bearing drive is sanitised to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 (HDD) and IEEE 2883-2022 (SSD/NVMe), with a certificate of destruction, on a documented chain of custody. Drives that can't be wiped are physically destroyed through a vetted partner. Certified destruction is what makes buyback safe under Singapore's PDPA and Malaysia's PDPA — so it's included in the deal, not billed as an extra.
Offices and corporates clearing space · IT teams running a refresh · data centres decommissioning across Singapore and the Johor/Iskandar corridor · banks, healthcare and government needing certified data destruction · schools and universities · and resellers, distributors, ITADs and MSPs clearing surplus and client stock. One unit or a warehouse — the process is the same, and the paperwork always holds up.
Send part numbers, quantities or photos and we'll come back with a written SGD offer.
Get my quoteMaxicom Singapore Pte Ltd is an independent IT buyback and recycling company based at 51 Goldhill Plaza, Singapore, serving businesses across Singapore and Malaysia. We recover the value inside retired business IT, destroy data to NIST 800-88 and IEEE 2883, and route reusable hardware back into service — paying businesses for equipment that other recyclers charge to take.
