🌱 Tech for Good
Donate Your Used Computers, Electronics and Accessories
We collect gently used laptops, desktops, and accessories, refurbish them, and provide them to individuals in need. Your donation helps equip participants with the tools they need to build essential life skills, access education, and find employment.
Through our collection, refurbishment, and responsible recycling efforts—in partnership with local e-waste processors and community donors—we’ve kept over 2 million pounds of e-waste out of East Tennessee landfills. Together, we give new life to old equipment while creating new opportunities for the people we serve.
🎓 Help us bridge the digital divide and support local communities by donating today!
♻️ How It Works
- Donate: Drop off your used computers and accessories at our designated locations.
- Refurbish: Our tech team deletes data, cleans, repairs, and upgrades the devices.
- Empower: Refurbished devices are given to digital literacy training participants, empowering them with the tools to thrive in today’s digital world.
What We Accept
- Computers and laptops
- Smartphones and tablets
- Printers, copiers, and scanners
- Televisions and audio/video systems
- All related accessories and peripherals
- Batteries and more
Items that cannot be refurbished are responsibly recycled through our partners, ensuring a sustainable approach to electronic waste.
Preparing Your Donation
To facilitate the refurbishing and recycling process, we kindly request:
- Please do not remove the hard drive or memory from your devices. Removing these components incurs additional costs for us to replace them. We have a secure data destruction process in place to protect your information.
- Minimal packaging: Please recycle any boxes through your local curbside program.
- No paper manuals or software collections: Dispose of these at home due to licensing restrictions.
- Untangle cords and cables, securing them with a rubber band or twist tie.
- Attach power adapters to their associated devices.
Secure Data Destruction Guaranteed
Your privacy is our priority. We are a licensed Microsoft Third-Party Refurbisher (TPR), the only one in Roane County, TN. We are committed to secure data destruction:
- All data-bearing devices are processed in our secure data area.
- We follow the National Institute Standards and Technology (NIST) SP800-88 guidelines for data sanitization.
- Our processes adhere to the International Secure Information & Governance Management Association (i-SIGMA) bylaws and the NAID membership code of ethics.
