You have a drawer with a dead laptop in it.
We’ll take it, wipe it, and find it a next owner. What we can’t save goes to a certified recycler for material recovery rather than to landfill. Either way you get told what happened to it.
The form takes about two minutes. You don’t need an account.
How it works
You book. Two minutes on the form. Drop off, or we collect if you have 10+ items.
We wipe. Every drive is sanitised to NIST 800-88 Purge, or physically destroyed. You get it in writing.
We repair. New RAM, new drive, fresh OS. Devices we can't fix go to our certified recycler for material recovery.
Someone uses it. It goes to a student, a senior centre, or a community partner — and we publish where.
What we take
Working or dead — a machine that won’t power on is still worth bringing, because we harvest parts from it and recover the materials.
- Laptops
- Desktop towers
- Monitors (flat panel only)

Two ways to hand it over
Which one you get depends on how much you have. Pickup starts at 10 items — below that we’d spend more fuel collecting a laptop than the laptop is worth, so it’s drop-off only.
Drop it off
Any number of items, from one up. Bring everything at once and tape the terminals on any loose batteries.
We collect
From 10 items up, on weekdays, with at least two days’ notice. Choose a count of 10 or more on the form to unlock it.
Your data
Assume we will erase everything, and don’t rely on us to save anything. Every device with storage is separated at intake and logged, then sanitised to the NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 “Purge” standard or physically destroyed if it can’t be wiped.
Before you hand anything over: back up what you want to keep, sign out of your accounts, and turn off Find My or activation lock. A locked phone is scrap to us; an unlocked one is someone’s first phone.
Clearing an office?
One IT refresh moves more material than a month of individual donations. Business donors get a written record listing each device and its sanitisation method, and a breakdown of what happened to the batch within three weeks.
One thing to know first
We are not yet a registered charity, so donations are not tax-deductible. We’d rather say that here than let you find out after you’ve handed something over.
