We always welcome the donation of newer computers and IT equipment - Please contact us if you have unwanted equipment, which can then be made available at cost to other local charities. We can only refurbish computers if they are fully functional, in reasonable condition and fulfil our minimum specifications.
Tip: If you're not sure - call us or click on this link to a PC Hardware Specification Tool
to check your computer specification and choose the 'Run' option, saying 'Yes' to any security message that may
appear, to help you determine this.
Charities and not-for-profit organisations are welcome to DROP-OFF a couple of computer systems at our facility FREE OF CHARGE (five units maximum per visit) and you can be assured that all hard disks and settings will be securely deleted prior to disposal. We can only accept donations at our premises by appointment - please call to arrange a suitable time.
There is NO CHARGE for a collection of TEN or MORE items of above minimum specification and functional I.T. equipment from within Calderdale.
If you need us to collect LESS than TEN items, there will be a charge.
If the equipment is old, not functioning, below minimum specification or contains waste items, then there will be a collection charge (usually a small capped fee to cover transport and/or disposal costs).
