Bring your decommissioned computer equipment to SEMI and change a life!
The SEMI Sustainability Climate Equity and Social Impact group is partnering with Tech Exchange to recycle, refurbish and reclaim your old or unusable computers and transform them into usable equipment for those without in the Bay Area. Tech Exchange secures the equipment, and then wipes all data from memory according to DOD standards, just like third-party e-waste firms do, and issues certificates as requested.
Drop off only, or join us for lunch and learn more about the program!

Tech Exchange's Highest Needs
Current top priorities are laptops, desktops, and mini-computers. Other tech items are welcome, such as mice, keyboards, speakers, monitors, SSD drives, hard drives, cables, chargers, and networking equipment (including servers). All of these can be refurbished for use by students, families, or in classrooms.
In addition, we accept new or gently used tech accessories like laptop bags, tablet bags, and tech cases, as well as consumer technology such as Apple Watches, small speakers, digital/video cameras, audio equipment, drones, tablets, iPhones, iPads, and more.
All apple products that are donated must have their apple iCloud deactivated so we can reuse/repurpose it.
If an item is not on this list, please send Tech Exchange an email at [email protected].
For large lots (>100 laptops) please contact Tech Exchange to arrange a pick up at your location, visit Pickup.techexchange.org to schedule.
Together, we can help close the digital divide!
