Donate your hardware
Donate used IT equipment for a double dose of good!
Partner with our network of charities to responsibly dispose of hardware and support a worthy cause.
Most of the equipment we refurbish for donation in the UK comes from two kinds of organisation.
Local councils and authorities. We collect the laptops and desktops their staff have finished with, wipe them securely and refurbish them to a good, fit-for-purpose standard. The council then donates the devices to community groups in its area, or we resell them and the council gives the residual value to groups in its constituency, such as food banks. Fife Council has done both with us.
Large organisations with their own foundation. We refurbish the company’s retired laptops and pass them to its foundation for its own programmes. Mace Construct did this with the Mace Foundation, whose Constructing Your Success programme helps young people with care experience into careers in construction.
We take a reuse-first approach: a device that still works goes to someone who needs it before it goes to recycling. Around 1.7 million UK households do not have a laptop, tablet or desktop computer, according to the UK government’s IT Reuse for Good Charter guidance, and every securely wiped, refurbished device provided free of charge closes part of that gap.
Donate your surplus IT equipment to our charity partners like ITdonations, Close the Gap, Digital for Youth or the Laptopdesk.
Choose to donate the hardware itself or its residual value. Every contribution, big or small, makes a social impact.
Let’s work together to give your unwanted tech a new lease on life!

The waste hierarchy for IT hardware: from prevention to recovery
The waste hierarchy comes up in most conversations about sustainable IT, but it only tells half the story. Below, we cover what the hierarchy actually says, how the more detailed 9R framework builds on it, and what both mean for the laptops, desktops and servers your organisation runs.

Third Party Maintenance: How to Keep IT Infrastructure Running for Longer
As the infrastructure gets older, the costs associated with renewing OEM support go up and refresh cycles can replace equipment that is still reliable, suitable, and trusted for its intended purpose.
