E-waste pickup for churches and schools

Old lab computers, office PCs and the closet full of monitors nobody uses. Schools, churches and other nonprofits with 20 or more items pay nothing, broken screens included.

How community pickups work

Schools, computer labs, churches and other nonprofits: when the pickup is 20 items or more, there's no fee on anything, including broken monitors, TVs and printers. Under 20 items, the normal list applies: free pickup, $10 per broken screen or printer.

Member and student data

Church offices keep giving records and member lists. School PCs hold student information. Every drive is wiped before anything leaves our hands, and you get a certificate listing each one.

What happens to the data

Every drive comes out of the machine and its serial number is logged first. Hard drives get a verified overwrite to NIST SP 800-88, the federal standard. SSDs and NVMe drives get the drive's own firmware erase, because an overwrite can't reach all of the flash. Then you get a certificate listing every drive, its serial, the method and how it was checked.

Need the drives physically destroyed instead? That's done on request through our shredding partner, who issues their own certificate. We never drill a drive and call it destroyed.

What we take

Desktops, laptops, servers, network gear, hard drives, keyboards, mice, cables and chargers, working monitors 24" and up, and working smart TVs from 50" to 65". No CRTs, loose batteries, or anything made in 2013 or earlier.
