Donate Your Computers
Your donated technology gets a second life and helps others while keeping e-waste out of landfills.
Why Donate to Cincinnati Computer Reuse?
Cincinnati Computer Reuse is a non-profit organization that provides secure and environmentally responsible computer recycling services to businesses and individuals.
Working generation 8 and newer computers are refurbished according to Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher standards and offered to low-income families, schools, and other non-profit organizations.
Older equipment is properly recycled, providing about 20% of our operating revenue. Donating your company's computers can have a significant positive impact on your local community.
Cincinnati Computer Reuse serves low income individuals, providing them with access to technology that they might not otherwise have. This access can empower them to learn new skills, search for jobs, access educational resources, and connect with others, ultimately fostering social inclusion and economic opportunities.
Social, Environmental, and Economic Impacts
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has emerged as a powerful concept that recognizes the responsibility of businesses to positively impact society and the environment. Beyond the pursuit of profits, CSR encourages companies to consider their social, environmental, and economic impacts, fostering sustainable practices and creating shared values for all stakeholders.
Our ask is simple: give us your old computer equipment. Let us put it in the hands of someone who really needs a break in life.
Cincinnati Computer Reuse is a 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization (EIN# 73-1645747); your computer donation is tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
