I recently upgraded my tech setup and ended up with several iPhones that can still run the latest iOS version, as well as boxes of Ubiquity Access Points (AC-Lites and LRs). While I consider them waste and don't intend to use them again, I believe they still hold value. I'm looking for options to dispose of them responsibly. Are there organizations that might pay for this kind of equipment? I'm not expecting top dollar, but I'd like to get something in return for these items. Just to note, I'm located in Canada.

I work with a local non-profit that may be able to find a use for those Access Points. If you're willing to part with them, they can be put to good use!
Look into local machine services that buy old phones; I sold a Droid 2 at Walmart years ago for $5. You might get more for your iPhones, especially since they’re still relevant.
Consider contacting online used equipment buyers. In Canada, you can explore options like Amazon Marketplace to find companies that buy used phones in bulk. Donating to a shelter or a charity that refurbishes tech for schools is also a great idea — just make sure everything is wiped clean before handing them over.
Have you checked out ewaste recycling programs in your city? They often provide some compensation. Also, eBay is a solid marketplace if you're looking to sell.
You could try selling your Ubiquity Access Points to a client or organization that frequently upgrades their equipment. For example, a hotel I worked with resold theirs for around $20 each when upgrading. As for the iPhones, if they’re in good shape, donating them to a women’s shelter could help someone in need.
