Empowering Communities with Technology
Your donation can bridge the digital divide and create opportunities for those in need
Personal Device Donations
Your donations help our resources go further to bring technology access to more people in the communities we serve! We take your devices, give them a new life, and distribute them at no cost to families and individuals who do not have a device in their homes! Help us equip, connect, and inspire the next generation by reusing your technology devices!
Compudopt will accept drop-offs Monday - Friday from 9 AM-2 PM without any appointment necessary at all of our physical locations (Houston, Mesa, Atlanta, Chicago, San Antonio, and Dallas). We also provide free pickup of donations over 25 devices within a 50 mile radius of our physical locations and gladly accept device donations shipped to one of our physical locations via post or freight.
