Bring us your poor, your tired, your broken down computers November 4, 2009

That’s right, your computer doesn’t even have to be working for us to accept it. We fix whatever we can. The rest, we are paid to recycle with a zero-landfill partner. It’s a great win-win-win situation. You don’t have to pay to scrap that hulking monitor taking up valuable desktop space. Dangerous items don’t end up in our landfills. And we get more money to fund our mission of advancing the well-being of people who experience barriers to independence.

The only broken item we are unable to accept are cracked CRTs. Unfortunately, the best way to dispose of those is through your local recycling program or landfill.
