HOW IT WORKS

  1. Gather your used computers and electronics. Include cables if you have them.
  2. Bring them to a participating Goodwill donation location.
  3. We sort, wipe data from most devices we refurbish, and recycle responsibly through Dell Reconnect.
  4. Your donation supports local job training and classes like computer literacy and forklift certification.

Data security tip: remove or reset accounts, sign out of services, and perform a factory reset if your device supports it.
