Every year, hundreds of thousands of students walk across the stage filled with pride, dreams, and potential. But for more than 500,000 graduates, the journey into adulthood begins without a critical tool: a laptop . In a world increasingly reliant on technology, the digital divide is more prevalent for young adults than one might think. Whether it’s applying for jobs, pursuing higher education, or starting a new career, a laptop is essential to unlocking opportunities. And for too many, it’s out of reach. At Compudopt , we believe that every graduate deserves a fair shot at success. That’s why we’re working tirelessly to bridge this divide, ensuring that the next chapter of life doesn’t begin with a setback. One Gift. One Future. A donation of just $250 puts a laptop directly into the hands of a graduate in need. This isn’t just a gift, it’s an investment in someone’s future. We’ll Make Your Gift Go Twice as Far Right now, every donation is being matched , meaning your generosity goes twice as far. Together, we can reach even more graduates and ensure they’re equipped to thrive beyond the cap and gown. Learn more or give today: www.compudopt.org/gifts-4-grads-donate

Houston (May 8, 2025) - AT&T, Recycle Global Exchange (RGX), and Compudopt have joined forces to expand an in-store e-waste collection program that offers the public a simple and impactful way to safely recycle their old personal technology while helping to bridge the digital divide. Building on a successful pilot in 2024, the expanded program will launch across more than 100 AT&T retail locations in Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Beginning May 1, consumers can drop off used phones, tablets, and laptops at participating stores with bins for responsible device refurbishment, recycling, or reuse. For every 10 pounds of e-waste collected, AT&T and their nonprofit collaborator, Compudopt, will donate 1 laptop to individuals in need – up to 2,000 laptops. Through this initiative, we’re keeping e-waste out of landfills and empowering individuals and families to thrive in a digital world. "At AT&T, we’re excited to expand this program to additional stores, making it more convenient for the public to recycle electronics in their own communities,” said Roman Smith, Director of Global Environmental Sustainability. “Together, we’re creating a more sustainable future while strengthening connections for people across the country." RGX, a Colorado-based cleantech company, is powering the program’s logistical infrastructure through its technology platform. The RGX system connects enterprise clients like AT&T to a national network of service providers while streamlining workflows, automating job tracking, and reducing management time and expense. By simplifying what can often be a complex process, RGX enables companies to achieve sustainability goals, reduce their carbon footprint, and maximize the value of their retired IT assets. “This is exactly the kind of initiative our platform is designed for,” said Sean Miles, CEO of RGX. “By integrating retail-based collection into a managed system of local recyclers, we’re helping companies like AT&T achieve measurable sustainability results -- without adding administrative complexity. It’s a smarter, more scalable way to handle IT asset disposition.” Collected devices are handled by Compudopt, a national nonprofit dedicated to closing the digital divide. Devices will be assessed, and laptops that qualify will be refurbished and distributed to students, individuals, and families who lack access to technology. Non-qualifying devices will be safely recycled to avoid landfills. “This program creates a direct line from discarded technology to life-changing access,” said Megan Steckly, CEO of Compudopt. “By turning stores into collection points, we’re not only keeping harmful materials out of landfills -- we’re delivering opportunity to the people who need it most.” Programs like this help reduce the environmental impact of improperly discarded electronics while recovering valuable materials and delivering real community benefit.

This Earth Month, we’re celebrating a partnership that does more than reduce waste - it changes lives. Compudopt has teamed up with Micro Center, a leading electronics retailer, to collect working laptops and desktops at all 28 of their locations nationwide. Instead of collecting dust or ending up in a landfill, your old device can power a future. Millions of computers are discarded every year, contributing to a growing e-waste crisis. Through this partnership, we’re putting that tech to better use by refurbishing donated devices and placing them directly into the hands of students and families who need them most. Just ask one of our 5th-grade recipients: He was beaming with excitement as he picked up his very first laptop. He told us, “I’m going to download Blender and another design program as soon as I get home!” He loves designing games at school and couldn’t wait to start building his own 3D animated game. He doesn’t have a name for it yet - but he said, “I just know it’s going to be the coolest game ever!!” Moments like this are why we do what we do. Your support - your donated device - can open a world of possibility. Why It Matters By donating your working device, you’re making a real difference: Bridging the digital divide : Empower students with the tools they need to learn, explore, and create. Reducing e-waste : Extend the life of your tech and keep electronics out of landfills. Creating opportunity : Every device means one more child who can connect, learn, and dream big. How You Can Help Drop off your used, working laptop or desktop at any Micro Center location this Earth Month.
