The HandyComputerGuy Recycling Center (THRC) promotes the highest and best re-use of computer and cell phone equipment, and recycles unusable items to keep them out of landfills.

After receiving computers, THRC picks working parts, assembles them, and refurbish so that they can be reused. Our program donates computers and laptops to low income community groups, new immigrants for use in public charity and community programs.

HOW MUCH? How many computers and monitors …are discarded, thrown away, hidden away in closets, garages, basements....etc.

Used computers/electronics still have value to people that can't afford new
We don't need to throw stuff away just cause we don't want it or don't use it. Put your used electronics to work as a valuable resource in the community! If you don't want it anymore and it works, someone else may want it. If it doesn't work, someone may be willing to fix it and use it! Check your STATE website for REuse programs.
