Dear readers,
I apologize for the lack of posts in the last few weeks, but I think we have a good excuse! We have been busy preparing the launch of a new, exciting program…
I am excited to announce that Goodwill has partnered with Dell to launch the ReConnect program in Maine and New Hampshire (the program begins in Vermont on February 9). You are now able to drop off used computers and peripherals at any of our stores and donation centers FREE of charge!
Dell has successfully partnered with close to 50 other Goodwill agencies across the country and we are thrilled to bring this program to northern New England. We are the first non-profit in all three states to offer free computer recycling for residents.
The goal of the program is two-fold:
- to divert used computers and computer equipment from landfills
- to provide the community a way to responsibly recycle used computer equipment.
- AND! We have a goal of diverting nearly one million pounds of computer waste from landfills in the first year of the ReConnect program. Help us reach our goal!
We now accept the following:
- Any Brand of Computer (Desktop and Tower)*
- Laptop
- Cords
- Keyboard
- Mouse
- Monitor
- Scanner
- Printer
- Fax Machine and Parts
*Donor is responsible for wiping all personal information from hard drives before donating computer equipment.
We accept donations from residents and businesses. If you have a large donation, please contact us to arrange details.
Thanks for the info. So happy to hear that Goodwill is offering old computer recycling for FREE! The last computer we recycled (responsibly) costs us $20. BTW, I really enjoy reading your blog.
Electronic devices have become such an important part of our daily lives that it’s important to know how to purchase, care for, and dispose of them responsibly. I think IT is the main causes of today E-waste problems.
