Donate your redundant computer equipment to benefit Charities, Schools, Hospitals and Church groups across the UK and Overseas
Numerous kind offers of old computer equipment are received on a daily basis. Sadly given legislation regarding reuse of electrical equipment and continuing technology developments, it is crucial for donated items to be appropriate and legal.
