  • We’ll use industry-standard software to destroy all of your data
  • We’ll supply certificates of data destruction for any laptop or desktop computer.
  • If you’re donating a smartphone or tablet, please ensure that it’s been factory reset through the settings menu. If you’re unable to perform a factory reset for whatever reason, please sign out of your Apple ID or Google account.
    • If your device is signed into your accounts, it can’t be reused.
    • We can help you perform a reset in-store, but not at our drop-off locations. Please make sure that the device is fully charged.

    • All hardware containing data is locked on-site until it’s processed.
    • We can erase as many as 20 devices per day.

Social good

    • The primary aim of the project is to reduce digital exclusion. Devices we receive are distributed throughout the local community to those who need them most.
    • We provide volunteering & training opportunities to individuals in the community. Many of our volunteers have disabilities or face hardships which prevent them from entering the workforce. We help people take their first steps into a career in IT.
