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.

This Earth Month, Compudopt is proud to partner with Mission Telecom to spotlight a powerful force for environmental and social change: electronic recycling with purpose. We often think of recycling in terms of paper, plastic, or glass, but what about that unused laptop in your drawer or the 2015 desktop sitting idle in storage? When you donate these devices, you’re not just reducing waste—you’re extending the opportunity to students and families nationwide. The Hidden Cost of E-Waste E-waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world. Electronics may seem harmless when tucked away in a closet, but once discarded improperly, they can release toxic materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium into the environment. These substances contaminate soil and water, posing serious threats to ecosystems and public health. Recycling electronics responsibly isn’t optional—it’s essential. Through this partnership, we’re taking meaningful action. From Waste to Worth: Bridging the Digital Divide In 2024 alone, Compudopt diverted 246,820 pounds—or 123.41 U.S. tons—of technology from landfills. But the impact goes beyond environmental preservation. As of 2021, over 5.5 million U.S. households lacked access to a working computer. For these families, it’s not just a missing convenience—it’s a missing lifeline to education, jobs, and healthcare. Together with Mission Telecom, we’re transforming recycled technology into opportunity. We have started our process of providing low-cost internet access to 10,000 devices to reach our goal of 30,000 households nationwide—and we need your help to make it happen. Every recycled device could become: A student’s virtual classroom A job seeker’s career launchpad A family’s connection to telehealth and services Recycle. Donate. Empower. When you recycle your devices with Compudopt and Mission Telecom, you’re choosing to make a difference for the planet and for people.

Together, we’re not just reducing e-waste but building a more empowered, connected future. By donating your old technology, you’re doing more than helping the planet—you’re helping someone take their very first step toward a brighter future because the second life of your device could be a first chance for someone else.

The no-cost Internet program launched in Houston with 200 families also receiving free laptop computers HOUSTON (Feb. 24, 2025) – Compudopt , a national nonprofit providing free technology access and education to under-resourced youth and their communities, is set to give free high-speed Xfinity Internet service to thousands of families in Houston, Atlanta and Chicago thanks to a new partnership with global media and technology company Comcast . Compudopt is able to provide the free Xfinity internet service through Comcast’s Internet Essentials Partnership Program (IEPP) . Compudopt and Comcast are committed to shrinking the digital divide, which impacts nearly 11% of U.S. households lacking access to a high-speed internet connection, according to 2023 U.S. Census Data. “While digital access and connectivity are increasingly important resources, challenging economic times force families to choose between internet services and household necessities,” said Compudopt CEO Megan Steckly. “Our partnership with Comcast offers families affordable, accessible solutions, especially to the thousands of households impacted by the end of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).” IEPP was launched by Comcast in 2020 as part of its Internet Essentials initiative, designed to accelerate student internet adoption through partnerships with school districts and adjacent organizations. Comcast has established IEPPs with hundreds of schools, school districts and other organizations across the country. “Every family deserves to be connected to education, healthcare, online banking, community and more,” Comcast Texas’ Regional Senior Vice President Jose Espinel said. “We know digital accessibility opens the door to more opportunities, and we’re inspired by the impact this partnership with Compudopt will make on thousands of American households.” To celebrate the partnership, Compudopt and Comcast hosted an event at the Tejano Center for Community Concerns, where the organizations distributed 200 free laptops and connected 200 local families to Comcast’s Xfinity internet service at no cost. Local elected officials were also in attendance. Click here to view and download photos from the distribution event . Also share and tag @compudopt on LinkedIn, Facebook, or Instagram.
