How are devices donated to people who need them?
We partner with multiple organizations, non-profits, churches, etc. with a shared mission who will unite our "Re-Pete'd" device to its new owner(s).
Are misc peripherals okay?
Yes, many devices can be recycled including Routers. Keyboards, Mouse, Smart Devices, USB Drives, Printers Wireless Chargers, etc.
What we do with Donated / Recycled devices upon reciept.
We inspect the device and test it's components with some performance stress loads.
If there is a faulty part or opportunity to upgrade anything on the device for optimal performance we will do so to ensure the next user get's a great piece of equipment.
We use our own internal QA process to ensure the changes are working as expected and capatible with the future setup.
We add a fresh installation of a compatible Operating System for the new user.
We find the opportunity in your device to help someone get connected online. This helps our future generations and families get a leg up when something simple as technology hasn't been in their favor yet. They can help adults with a new job opportunity, students do their homework efficently, senior citizens adapt to the virtual changing world.
