Computer Collection Drive
GOODWILL HOLDS FREE COMPUTER COLLECTION DRIVE
Goodwill is holding a free computer collection drive from noon to 3 p.m. on Sunday, September 9, at its donation center located at 2902 American Legion Drive, in Portage.
Goodwill accepts working and nonworking computers, hard drives, monitors, keyboards and mice and just about anything that can be attached to a computer (e.g., printers, speakers, cords), regardless of brand. It also accepts Microsoft Xbox and Zune systems and peripherals.
Donors are asked to:
- Back up any valuable information and erase sensitive data from any hard drive before dropping it off;
- Place any monitor or scanner with broken glass in a cardboard box lined with a large plastic garbage bag, seal the box and clearly label it with “broken monitor” or “broken scanner” and the date; and
- Include the license key with any donated software.
Goodwill uses the revenue generated through the sale of donated computer equipment and other items to support its mission of building better communities by providing employment, housing and support to people with disabilities and other challenges.
All donations made to Goodwill are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
The computer recycling program, called Reconnect, is managed by Goodwill Industries and Dell. Microsoft is a Reconnect supporting partner.
Goodwill accepts donations of working and nonworking computer equipment year round, free of charge. The September 9 collection drive is being held in an effort to increase awareness about the program.
