Donate
Your old devices and your dollars both become working computers
Everything you give goes to neighbors who need a device, or gets sold to fund the next one.
Donate a device
We take
- Laptops and desktops
- Phones and tablets
- Accessories and cables
- Sound bars and desktop speakers (3.5mm aux)
- Digital cameras
- Gaming systems
Old and broken computers too. We use the working parts and recycle the rest responsibly.
We can’t take
- TVs and DVD or Blu-ray players
- Printers and ink
- Stereos and bare-wire speakers
- Household appliances
Before you come: sign out of iCloud or Google
Otherwise the device stays locked and we have to recycle it. Every drive is wiped with ShredOS (one pass for SSDs, three for hard drives) or physically destroyed before a device leaves us.

Give money
Cash buys the batteries, chargers and drives that get donated devices working again. It also pays for the software that wipes and prepares each device. Give once or monthly. Gifts are tax-deductible.
