  • 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.
