What type of electronics do you take? 

We will accept any laptops, desktops, and monitors.  We do NOT accept CRT monitors or cell phones in any condition. Please include the power cords where possible.  Mac’s are okay.  At this time we are also unable to take Tablets, tv’s, routers, appliances, servers or printers. 

My computer doesn’t work or I lost the cords, will you still take it? 

YES! However, we do ask that you keep the hard drive intact. 

How do I know my information is safe?

We take data erasure and security seriously at Compudopt. All data-bearing devices go through a commercial data erasure process in accordance with the NIST 800-88 PURGE standard, a multi-wipe pass that ensures that all data is destroyed. Defective and legacy drives that cannot be wiped are securely transferred to an R2 certified partner for physical destruction. 

Can I get a Tax Receipt?

Yes, Compudopt is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and your donation is tax deductible to the extent allowable by law.  Within a few days following your donation you will receive a thank you letter with an official tax receipt at the bottom.  The IRS prohibits non-profits from setting or determining a fair market value for in-kind donations, however, you will be able to do so in the space provided on your tax receipt. 

I love your work, what else can I do?

Right now computer donations are critical to our continuing to be able to serve more families across.  Cash donations are also incredibly useful and help us cover the other costs for our work including our Computer Giveaway program. Click here to donate. 

Where will my computer go?

Our mission at Compudopt is to provide technology to students who need it most. Almost 70% of  students need access to devices and the internet to complete their homework online. Compudopt is distributing computers to families without a device at home free of charge. Your previously used computer will be data wiped, sanitized, and given to a family in need to help children in our community continue to learn.  If we’re unable to use your device for some reason it will still be data wiped and then recycled.
