Turn Old Tech Into New Opportunities:
Recycle with Compudopt & Micro Center
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. It will be securely wiped, refurbished, and given a new life with a student or family in need.
Your gift - whether a device or a donation - powers:
- Technology access for students like our young game designer
- An honest, scalable solution to the growing e-waste problem
- Hope and opportunity in communities that need it most
Thank You, Micro Center
We’re proud to partner with Micro Center in this national effort to promote sustainability and expand opportunity through technology. Their commitment to supporting education and reducing e-waste is helping us change the future, one device at a time.
A Lasting Impact
This Earth Month, don’t let your old tech go to waste. Put it to work for the planet and a child’s future.
Together, we can create opportunities, reduce waste, and inspire the next generation of creators. One laptop. One child. One future transformed.
