Computer Recycling - Dell Reconnect Partnership

Goodwill is excited to announce our new computer recycling program, ReConnect. In partnership with Dell, residents in Maine, New Hampshire, and northern Vermont can now recycle any brand of computer and computer equipment at any Goodwill store or donation center.

The program's goal is two-fold:

  1. to divert used computers and computer equipment from landfills
  2. to provide the community a way to responsibly recycle used computer equipment.
