Reduce the Digital divide:
Schools, non-profits, libraries, students, and First Nations reuse your tech for learning and connecting. Without your help, they might not get the tech they need to succeed in today's digital world.

Protect our environment:
On average, reusing doubles the life of tech and protects the environment from e-waste. It is illegal to dispose of computers so you must at least recycle it, so why not do better for the same amount of effort? Learn more here.
Your data is of utmost importance to us. We have strict procedures to ensure that all hard drives are wiped, or destroyed upon arrival  Click here to learn more. 

​​Hard drives are overwritten 3-7 times to wipe all data

• We use the DOD Standard 5220.22M method to      wipe all hard drives . ​

• We also offer the DOD 5200.28-STD and the Peter Guttman method.
​​
• These methods ensure all the data is overwritten and unrecoverable from hard drives.

• Any hard drives that fail the overwrite process are punctured before being sent to FCM for shredding.

​Computers are refurbished in
an audited facility

• Data security is extremely important to us so as soon as your tech arrives, the hard drives are removed and sanitized (whether or not they are suitable for refurbishment).

• We store the sanitized hard drives in a locked quarantine area for safekeeping.
​
•  Donors should sanitize their hard drives prior to donating computers in compliance with PIPEDA legislation. We will overwite the hard drives again as a secondary level of assurance.

Donating your tech makes a world difference

Share some love when you upgrade your tech!
