How to Recycle

How to Recycle Your Trade Up Gear

Customers/Partners must log in to the Support Portal and go to the Trade Up page in order to certify that the products have been retired in accordance with local environmental standards and will no longer be used in a production environment. They also need to certify that the products have been traded up for new Riverbed products under the terms of the Trade Up Program.

Riverbed will provide credit for the unused maintenance support for the retired or recycled product(s). Failure to meet the terms and conditions of the Trade Up Program may result in the loss of discounts/credits on product purchased through it.

The Certificate of retirement certifies, through the Trade Up page on the support portal, the destruction of the traded up units in accordance with local environmental standards.

All questions related to the destruction of Trade Up units, including support credit memos, should be sent to:

Credit amount varies based on the appliance you are retiring and the new appliance you purchase to replace such older appliances.
