Computer Recycling Program
In an effort to both help the community and reduce waste, we have initiated a very successful computer recycling program.Your donated equipment is cleaned, repaired, upgraded and new software is installed. The final product is a functional computer that is given to families, students, children and hobbyists alike.
Benefits
Unlike other computer recycling programs that scrap or shred older equipment, we produce perfectly usable machines available upon request, free of charge.Secure
