While giving these computers new lives, we also help the environment by keeping computers out of landfills. Taking apart an old computer and manufacturing a new one makes 25 times the carbon footprint.

WHAT: Donate Your Computer Equipment For Reuse In Schools in Developing Countries
Expand minds, not landfills! Donate your working computer equipment (Pentium III and IV only) for reuse by young people in schools, libraries, and community centers in developing countries. Volunteers from the Boston Office of World Computer Exchange (WCE, www.WorldComputerExchange.org) will be accepting, testing and packing donated used, working Pentium 3 and 4 computers in downtown Boston on Fridays by pre-arrangement. Equipment is also accepted for drop off any time at WCE’s Hull location, or via mail. Businesses, institutional donors, or individuals wishing to make special arrangements should contact us for more details.
With 700 volunteers, WCE is the largest US non-profit provider of reused computers to connect youth in developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Studies show that the reuse of a computer is 25 times more carbon efficient than destroying one and re-manufacturing a new one. Our volunteer chapters in cities across the US and Canada have helped us prepare and ship over 26,000 donated computer sets since our first shipment in 2000.
At the same time, our work also helps to implement the UN’s Millennium Development Goals in Education, bridging the disturbing global divides in information, technology understanding, and opportunity.
If you would like donate your time and skills, we are also seeking volunteers as Computer Donation Assistants who could help take in donated equipment and test it to make sure it is working, volunteers can choose their hours.
