Create Realistic Timelines
It’s typical to want everything done yesterday when listing an SOW. Keep in mind vendors are busy as well, unless it’s urgent don’t list the project bidding for only 48hrs if the project doesn’t need to be done for 3 weeks. Typical time frames are 5-7 days pending the amount of equipment and SOW details.
Good Titles Attract Vendors
A good Job name draws attention quicker. RGX always assigns a job number, but a good title will get more eyes on it and competitive bids. Here is an example:
Good: IT Equipment for Sale
Better: 2 pallets of laptops, routers, and servers

Job Details Matter
The saying “there is never too much information” is true on these listings. List out the job requirements as much as needed on the provided area, or you can list them on an attachment for a vendor to review before bidding. The better the detail, the easier the process!
Manage Your Expectations
RGX is a true market machine, it will provide you with multiple offers from all vendors to compare and will always provide valuable feedback. Going in open-minded will provide education and awareness the more you utilize RGX. You will see items that you thought to have value not recoup much but you will also have value appear on items you weren’t expecting….so stay positive and trust the process!
Pictures Are Vital
Vendors love pictures, the more images you can provide on the equipment, the location and the work needed will help a vendor provide as best of an accurate offer.

Certified vs Non-Certified Recycling
Certified vs Non-Certified Recycling

RGX strives to be environmentally conscious with planning for one trip rather than multiple. Help is always available with any project, just let RGX assist in planning the best strategy that meets requirements, reduce carbon footprint and provides the best financial outcomes.
Can you help with Data Destruction?
By means of Green Glove Services, RGX can enable and coordinate a vendor to perform Data Destruction services as governed by current compliant standards (R2, NIST, DoD ext.…). This service can be performed on or offsite as part of the SOW.

RGX monitors and manages vendors to their compliance requirements, customer requirements and to the Terms and Conditions of Transaction required acceptance criteria.

How many offers should I expect?
With our growing network of vendors, you should expect multiple offers. However, the best match will be dependent on the SOW, the location and vendor qualifications. We provide tips on our support page for listing which helps attract the vendors.
What Asset Material Does RGX Handle?
RGX has defined the classifications to help categorize transactions:
Network (i.e. router, switches, computers, servers)
Mobility (i.e. cell phones, tablets, hotspots)
Infrastructure (i.e. generators, HVAC, ladder racks, telco bays)
Raw Material (i.e. cable, metal, plastics)
Other (i.e. printers, machinery, furniture)
If you have a question regarding material or equipment, just ask!
What costs are charged to utilize RGX?
RGX is more than an automated solution for e-waste. It’s a membership program designed to offer more benefits and services, making electronic waste easier and more effective from beginning to end. Premium experiences are negotiated on a case-by-case basis and are handled separately.
Currently, there is no subscription fee to become an RGX member.
TRANSACTION FEES
Customers who place equipment on the RGX platform pay a transaction fee.
- Scrap Purchased
The transaction fee for equipment purchased for scrap is calculated as either a percentage of the scrap proceeds subtotal or as a per pound transaction fee, whichever is higher. - Equipment Purchased
RGX charges a transaction fee for equipment purchased through the platform.
* Subscription and transaction fees are subject to change.
What does RGX consider as E-Waste?
There are so many definitions out there for what RGX covers. We used E-Waste as a reference to a conglomerate of definitions but Information Technology Assets (ITAD) is our main focus. Other terminology can be used as computer recycling, scrap material, recycling, asset recovery, recycle/re-use of electronics…if you are unsure if your item will work on our platform…just ask!
What if I’m unsure of what we have?
The more information provided the better the offer, if you are unable to provide the information, RGX can assist by providing any Green Glove Services or just ask!
What if the SOW or project details change?
If the project has been put out to bid and not received offers a customer can cancel without penalty. Amendments to SOW can be pushed by canceling or creating a new SOW and support@recyclegx.com is available for guidance anytime.
What is ‘Sort and Settle?’
A “sort and settle” is a method where vendors handle the equipment before offering any recycling or purchasing proceeds to the customer. This process typically occurs when a vendor wins a job by only bidding for their service charge, with the possibility of additional proceeds being added later if value is found during equipment processing.
How does the “sort and settle” process work?
- The vendor bids a service charge, for example, $250, with the expectation that additional proceeds may be found.
- The customer accepts the service charge.
- The vendor transfers and processes the equipment. If value is identified during processing, additional proceeds can be added.
- In this case, the vendor found value and offered a $400 recycling payout to the customer. The final job includes the $250 service charge and $400 in proceeds, leaving the customer with a net gain of $150.
What is the “Services and Prices” Tab?
What is the SOW (Scope of Work) process?
Each SOW is unique but follows the same process.
- The client must provide accurate details on the material offered and services needed.
- The Vendor must be able to confirm the ability to perform services and material with purchase offer.
- The transaction needs to be completed and accepted by both parties on the detail of the work and the payment details. The project is closed and the document then stored in both parties’ accounts.
Can I Always Expect to Receive a Return?
RGX provides the ability for a Customer to list anything that falls within the E-Waste classifications at any quantity. Not all assets or quantities will provide a return. Depending on the material and services identified in the SOW, a customer may receive offers from a vendor to payout rather than be paid.
How do Payments Work?
Vendors are required to pay RGX on a specific time frame after completion of a job. RGX makes 1 payment per month to the client based on one job or multiple jobs detailing out the proceeds per the SOW.
How Does RGX Handle a Dispute?
Every job has different circumstances, if something doesn’t go right contact RGX at support@recyclegx.com to work out a solution.
Vendor Communications?
Upon an award to the vendor, both parties will be introduced to arrange the job details. The information provided will be shared and recorded on the RGX platform for easy reference during and after the transaction.
What additional services can a vendor perform?
Based on the RGX Green Glove Services program, the vendor is filtered by those services in which they can perform as requested in the SOW.
What costs are charged to utilize RGX?
RGX is more than an automated solution for e-waste. It’s a membership program designed to offer more benefits and services, making electronic waste easier and more effective from beginning to end. Premium experiences are negotiated on a case-by-case basis and are handled separately.

Why am I Seeing the Incomplete Account Banner?
If your profile is incomplete, a warning banner will notify you to “Complete your profile.”
Clicking the link will take you to a short checklist guiding you to provide the critical missing information.
Additionally, if your account is flagged as incomplete, despite having previously been able to bid, this may be due to a recent enhancement made to the system. Under the new system, if your vendor profile indicates that you are R2 or e-Stewards certified, you’ll need to upload a copy of your certification document separately from other miscellaneous documents. This can be done easily when you click “Complete your profile” on the warning banner.
