Reuse is an extension of Service Corps to refurbish donated technology equipment for a new, productive use and purpose in our community, and provide students valuable hands-on experience with technology.
How it Works
Members of our community donate their equipment in GOOD condition:
- Desktop and laptop computers and accessories
- Monitors and TVs
- Networking equipment
- Servers and server equipment
Our Service Corps team of students and mentors refurbish the donated equipment:
- Security wipe to completely erase existing data
- Physical assessment, repair, cleaning, and modification
- New operating system installation and basic configuration
We then use the refurbished equipment in our own Community Projects, such as Digital Navigators, or provide to students for FREE to support their education, or provide to other members of our community by suggested donation.
Arrangements
While all Donations are appreciated, EQUIPMENT DONATIONS MUST BE APPROVED. Please provide a picture and written detail regarding potential equipment donations.
We recommend any equipment in POOR condition to be donated directly to Computers 4 People in Need, a fellow local nonprofit organization and Community Partner, that performs reclamation of precious metals and recycling.
Please contact reuse@cascadesteam.org for questions or comments about the Reuse program, and to arrange equipment donations.
