Recycle your computer with LFC!

We're discouraged by the amount of technology that ends as e-waste - especially when we can easily refurbish those computers, giving them a second life by putting them into the hands of those who have little or no access to technology.

The First

LFC completely erases every donated computer hard drive per Department of Defense standards.

The Second

Hard Drives are immediately removed from donated computers, and secured or wiped

The Third

Computer are then Refurbished and provided to a qualifying family

​New lives for old computers.

Do you have computers in bulk that you would like to donate?

 Read through the specifications on computers we do take and schedule a pick-up/ drop-off date by clicking on the link below.

Schedule a Pick-up/ Drop-off

We will gladly take:

Chromebooks (We strongly desire these)
PC's running Windows 7,  8 or 10
Macs 2012 or newer (that is capable of running a currently supported iOS)
Flat screen monitors
Hard drives (160 gigs or more)
Memory (RAM)- 4 GB sticks or higher.
Working speakers
Tablets
Printers (in working condition)

Sorry we can't take:

PC's running Windows Vista or earlier.​
CRT (old, heavy) monitors
Old Keyboards that are not USB
Books/CDS
Bags full of cables
Routers or modems
Non-Computer Parts (Televisions, Radios, etc.)
Batteries

Non-working printers
Industrial printers (unless we need one to use in-house!)
Donate your desktop or laptop computer, (or other working components i.e. hard drive, monitor, and more) and receive a tax-deductible receipt and feel good about helping a neighbor in our community.

LFC will be happy to arrange a pickup of a bulk donation of modern and  complete computers, usually 20 pieces or more. Unfortunately LFC can not pick up individual computers due to staffing limitations.​

Any cash donations you can make at the time of drop off will help us turn your equipment into a computer for a local family or person that qualifies, feed our volunteers, pay staff or keep the lights on.
