Every refurbished computer means a student can complete homework, a parent can apply for jobs, and entire families can stay connected to opportunity. 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. By donating, your organization not only diverts e-waste from landfills but also creates lasting impact for families without reliable access to technology. Learn more about our donating devices here.
