I’m searching for an organization that excepts volunteers to repair and rebuild computers. There use to be a place in midtown Atlanta called freebytes that allowed volunteers to offer such services, but we are unable to find them now. Are you aware of any such organizations?

If you’re fortunate enough to be in the Portland, OR area, you can take just about anything computer-related to Free Geek. If it’s not working, they charge ~$10 to cover disposal costs, but anything that *does* work can be recycled and donated to people in need.

I am trying to get some old machine so I can upgrade my home computer, I will either take the donated computers apart and reuse some or all of them, or I will sell them and give you 90% of the profit(money I get minus shipping to buyer). If you are interested please e-mail me at support@jup.ipupdater.com

I teach an advanced computer repair course at a high school in the Phoenix metro area. We have an organization in the Phoenix area that helps recycle computer systems. Check out www.aztrut.org./ to see our sponsors. My students get computer systems from AZStRUT and refurbish, upgrade, and donate them to schools and non-profit organizations. We gladly accept any computer systems, working or not, as we have a partnership with Westech Recyclers in Phoenix to recycle non-usable systems. So . . . things get donated or recycled correctly.

[...] When people get a new computer, often their old computer ends up going to the landfill. That’s a shame because there are a lot of options out there which will keep the computer out of the landfill and bring it new life.

In Canada you can donate used computer and office equipment to reBOOT Canada. It is a registered charity which gives out tax receipts. The computers are refurbished, reloaded, and handed out to charities, non-profit, and educational institutions throughout Canada. 1(866)-747-2668

Great article for me and my old systems. I am wondering though, where can I get rid of some non-working computer related parts such as expansion cards, power supplies, motherboards, old cases, printers, etc.? I would really prefer not to pay to get rid of them. I am in the Triad area of North Carolina.

Thanks!

The School of St Jude in Tanzania is totally supported by sponsors. They are one of the few schools in Tanzania to have a computer lab. They love to receive useful stuff like old computers.
