DONATING OR RECYCLING COMPUTER EQUIPMENT

It's that time of year when you may be thinking of donating older electronic equipment to a Charity. For those who have already done this, let us hear from you on the organizations you would recommend. For Massachusetts readers, it has come to our attention that there is a local cancer charity that you may want to put on your list. This charity is 100% runby volunteer cancer scientists, survivors, and information technologists.
The name of the organization is Recycle Computers4 Cancer [
www.recyclecomputers4cancer.org]
and it donates all proceeds to help Cancer patients and their families through the SMCAC (Scientific & Medical Coalition Against Cancer). They have securely erased all data on hard drives that are donated for the past 12 years, including major pharmaceutical companies, banks, individuals, law firms, and financial institution. Also, all computer donations are tax deductible with no donation considered
too small or large.Equipmentcan be dropped off or arranged to be picked up. Items accepted for donation are listed at www.recyclecomputers4cancer.org/items-accepted-donations-recycle-computers-4-cancer/

For free pickup, fill out and send in the donation form at www.recyclecomputers4cancer.org/free-pickup-request-form/

The contact for RC4C is Eric Grund at eric@smcac.org.
