At Tech Exchange, we turn potential e-waste into life-changing opportunities. Safeguard your data, ensure compliance, and protect the environment effortlessly with our all-inclusive e-waste removal and ITAD solutions.
Today, over 450,000 Bay Area residents lack access to a computer at home.
Give New Life to Retired Technology
Tech Exchange transforms decommissioned computer equipment into tools for empowerment. By donating your company’s retired computers, monitors, and other devices, you help divert e-waste from landfills. Our Oakland-based team of staff and interns refurbishes these devices, giving them a second life in the hands of individuals and families participating in our digital inclusion programs. Your contributions not only close the digital gap but also support environmental sustainability—repurposing just one computer conserves 4,473 KWh of energy and prevents 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.

First, we carefully sort devices and remove hard drives whenever possible.
Data Erasure and Hard Drive Removal:
We then employ a rigorous triple-pass Department of Defense data wipe process for devices donated. The data is overwritten three times, making it virtually impossible to recover any usable data.
Triple-Pass Data Wipe:
For traditional hard drives, we utilize an industrial degausser machine to disrupt and eliminate magnetic fields, rendering all data completely unreadable and unrecoverable.
Magnetic Destruction:
If you request a data wipe and certification, we will email the certificate to you within 4 to 6 weeks.
Certificate Delivery:
