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:
- to divert used computers and computer equipment from landfills
- to provide the community a way to responsibly recycle used computer equipment.
How do I recycle a computer at Goodwill?
Simply drop off any brand of used computer and computer equipment at any Goodwill retail store or donation center in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. The donated computer equipment is responsibly recycled through Dell's Asset Recovery Services. Dell's authorized product recovery partner remarkets the recycled materials, such as plastics, glass and metals. Proceeds support the mission of Goodwill Industries of Northern New England.
