Donate Your Laptops and more

Equipment Donations

Computer CORE refurbishes computers for our adult learners who do not have a computer. For enrolled students, a computer is provided at no cost for them to keep.

CORE accepts donations of PC and Mac laptops, desk tops, monitors, keyboards, mice and cords. We do not accept printers, scanners, fax machines or anything over 25 lbs. CORE partners with Securis to responsibly e-cycle items we cannot use. When donating an Apple device, please ensure that it is removed from your iCloud account.

CORE is a certified Third Party Refurbisher under the Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher program. CORE conducts a factory reset, erasing all your data from the machine. We then install a new operating system. We can provide a “sanitization certificate” to indicate the data has been wiped. We prefer that you do not remove the hard drives as this makes it more expensive for us to provide free devices to our adult learners.

Laptops Are A Critical Need

We especially need laptops to meet student needs — our goal is to receive over 1000 per year to distribute to students who do not currently have one. We are also happy to receive any desktop computers (PC or Mac) and peripheral equipment as well.

Technical Specs and Donation Process:

  • We accept PC or Mac equipment
  • Schedule your donation dropoff through safe and easy WaitSmart Notice app
  • We accept wiped computers, or we will wipe them (Preferred: 8GB & intel core i3, i5, i7 AMD, Ryzen or equivalent)
  • We then install Windows for no-cost distribution to clients in need
  • Donors receive a donation letter for tax records, as well as the heartfelt thanks of our diligent adult students working to improve their lives!

Getting new computers in your office?

Before you return or recycle, consider donating your old computers to Computer CORE.

Computer CORE is a certified Third Party Refurbisher under the Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher program. We accept computers individually or in bulk. Our trained tech team follows prescribed security protocols and best practice procedures.

We have been pleased to accept previous bulk donations from large and small companies, as well as from government agencies with very specific refurbishment requirements.
