Do you have any spare computers collecting dust?<\/p>\n

Does your company regularly upgrade computers for your economics, engineering or graphics departments?<\/p>\n

There is no better way to dispose of those machines than by donating them to Canada\u2019s Computers for Schools Plus<\/a> program to be refurbished, re-used, or recycled responsibly. Since 1993, the program has distributed more than 1.7 million refurbished computers to schools, non-profits and low-income households. <\/p>\n

Concerned about the data on those machines? As noted in a recent article in the National Post<\/a>, the program uses industry best-practices and can issue Certificates of Destruction. “The measures in place meet the requirements of the federal government, including the program\u2019s largest single donor, the Department of National Defense.” <\/p>\n

There is a different Computers for Schools agency in each province and territory<\/a>. Each has put in place health and safety procedures to protect donors and staff during these times. <\/p>\n

Contact your local agency<\/a> to learn how you can help. Learn more about Computers for Success<\/a> here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
