As part of our holistic digital access solution, we collect, recondition, and redistribute gently-used computers to community members without one at home. That work starts with individuals and companies, like you and yours, donating devices. Join us at NANOG 95 to learn how you can turn devices into opportunity and directly impact thousands of lives. Together, let’s make access possible. Learn more about our donating devices here.

Through our partnership with NANOG 95, we’re working toward an ambitious goal: collecting 3,000 donated devices to be refurbished and placed directly into the hands of those who need them most. Our device donation program gives new life to gently used technology. We accept laptops, desktops, monitors, tablets, servers, and related accessories from companies and individuals. We provide full-service ITAD with secure onsite pickup, certified data erasure/destruction, refurbishment and remarketing, end-of-life recycling, and custom ESG reporting; all anchored in rigorous security and compliance. Our process provides verified chain of custody, monitored locked transport, restricted facilities with video surveillance, certified destruction with certificates, routine internal/third-party audits, and background-checked, confidentiality-bound staff.
