Where are the Recycling Lists and TechFinder?
We have taken down our TechSoup resource listings to donate hardware and also our listings on where to find recycled hardware.
- If you need low-cost warrantied refurbished computers, visit TechSoup’s Refurbished Computer Initiative.
- If you are interested in donating your used pcs and have working equipment that is five years old (or newer) in quantities greater than 50, please consider donating them to TechSoup’s Refurbished Computer Initiative program.
- If you are interested in donating and have working five year old (or newer) equipment in smaller quantities, find refurbishers that accept donated IT equipment via the directory of Microsoft Registered Refurbishers.
- If you have broken or older than five year old IT equipment to discard or donate, find electronics recyclers in your vicinity at Earth 911.
- Find out more about TechSoup’s ongoing work in the field of electronics recycling and refurbishment.
