Overview
What is the Eaton UPSgrade Programme?
The Eaton UPSgrade Programme is a free end-of-life service for businesses replacing an old UPS. When you purchase an eligible new Eaton single-phase UPS through IP Trading, Eaton will organise the pickup and certified recycling of your old unit at no extra cost.
It doesn't matter what brand your old UPS is or what condition it's in. APC, CyberPower, legacy Eaton, Vertiv, all brands are accepted. The programme covers the collection, the recycling, and the paperwork.
Other programmes ask you to drive to a drop-off point, only service metro areas, or limit trade-ins to their own brand. This one doesn't. The Eaton UPSgrade Programme covers all of Australia and New Zealand, costs nothing, and issues a formal recycling certificate once your equipment has been processed.
