Did you know?

• According to the U.S. EPA, nearly 250 million computers will become obsolete in the next five years. In 2001, only 11 percent of personal computers retired in the U.S. were recycled.
  
• Each computer dumped in a landfill is a missed opportunity to provide Information Age tools to people across the digital divide.
  
• Out-of-date computer systems can be more of a burden than a blessing to schools and nonprofits, as it can cost them up to $400 to bring a pre-Pentium computer up to today's standards. Donate computers to a recycler or refurbisher, rather than directly to these other groups.

ReUse Industries' PCs to the People program began in 2001 as a way to provide computers to low-income residents of Southeastern Ohio. Our program is still going strong, but there is always a need for more donations of computers! Donations of good condition, reusable materials are tax deductible. In addition to this, donating your old computer means that you are doing your part to make a world a cleaner place. And finally, your donation of a computer means that one more resident of Southeast Ohio will be able to cross the digital divide.

For more information on what kind of computers we accept, please call our main facility in Albany at (740) 698-8200!
