Earth Month Tech Drive
Donate Devices, Empower Communities

This April, Tech Exchange is launching an Earth Month Campaign to collect 1,000 working computers to support our growing digital inclusion programs across six Bay Area counties.

Earth Month

Your company’s unused laptops or desktops can power education, employment, and opportunity—while reducing e-waste.

Your companies retired tech can make a difference.

Laptops, desktops (preferably under 5 years old, working condition).

A Sustainable Solution

Tech Exchange relies on donations of decommissioned computer equipment at the heart of our refurbishment process. Your company’s old computers, monitors, and other devices will be diverted from the waste stream, refurbished by our Oakland-based staff and interns, and given a new life in the hands of our digital inclusion participants. At the same time, you’ll be making the right choice for the environment. Repurposing just one computer saves 4,473 KWh of energy and 4.6 lbs of hazardous waste!

Your Data Security is our priority

The security of your data is of the utmost importance to Tech Exchange, so we offer a Triple-Pass Department of Defense data wipe process and certificates. After our friendly staff receives your devices, they are taken to our secure warehouse. Devices with removable hard drives are disassembled and receive a triple-pass machine wipe, with receipts of destruction upon request.

Data Destruction Policy

With THREE simple steps, you can donate your computers/unwanted tech and contribute to climate justice!

3 Simple Steps

STEP 1: Gather your company’s retired computers and technology.

STEP 2: Schedule a pick-up for quantities of 20+ items. If donating less than 20 devices, please email support@techexchange.org for drop-off options.

STEP 3: Our team picks up the equipment. It is then taken to our secure warehouse to be sorted, data wiped , and refurbish fixable devices.

"For over 30 years, Tech Exchange has provided free and low-cost refurbished devices, tech support, and digital inclusion services for Bay Area residents. As our operations continue to grow to cities and counties in different regions in California your retired technology can provide under-resourced students and families with the computers they need to thrive in the digital world (search for jobs, pay bills, attend classes, complete their homework etc) and empower themselves daily."
