Do you have old computers or computer parts hiding in closets around your home or in a storage room or under the desk at work?  Feeling like it’s time to let go of a few of those things?  InterConnection is a nonprofit agency that recycles old computers for free, and will come and pick up donated items from businesses, also for free!

When you bring your old computer to InterConnection, they will recycle your electronics and provide free data wiping.  You also get a tax deductible receipt with every donation.  InterConnection teaches computer maintenance and repair skills to low income individuals and provides computers to under-served communities both locally and abroad. Its great to know that your donated electronics are used wisely by this organization to help those in need.
