Wiping guide: Your data stays yoursWorking laptops, any brand
High-spec laptops go to design and tech students; older ones become Chromebooks.
What we accept: Working laptops, any brandBetter than e-waste
Laptops refreshed every three years still have years of school life left in them.
Why companies donate: Better than e-wasteWhat students say
“Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to now work on my photography at home. I am so grateful.”
“We can actually use a computer near our project and program directly. It makes it so much faster.”
Questions companies ask
What do we need to do?
Tell us roughly how many laptops you have, wipe them, and make sure they're working. We normally arrange pickup and drop them off at a school that has asked for them. That's it.
What about our data?
You wipe the laptops before they leave your office, so your IT team stays in control the whole time. Our preparation guide covers resetting Windows, macOS and Chromebooks.
What laptops do you take?
Working laptops of any brand, ideally reset with their original operating system and with chargers. Higher-spec laptops go to secondary schools for design, photography, art and technology. Lower-spec laptops suit primary and junior classes, often converted to Chromebooks with ChromeOS Flex. See what we accept.
Can you take broken laptops?
No, sorry. We only take working laptops. Neither we nor the schools are set up to repair them.
What if we don't have laptops available yet?
Get in touch anyway. We understand it may be weeks or months before your next refresh. All we ask is that when you do refresh, the laptops you no longer need go to a school.
Got a cupboard of old laptops?
You wipe them, we pick them up, and they go straight to a school that has asked for them.
