Does Goodwill recycle electronics?

Sometimes. Dell Reconnect at participating Goodwill sites accepts listed computer equipment of any brand and condition, including laptops and printers, but that program is not a blanket answer for every electronic item. A tube TV or microwave needs to be checked with the specific Goodwill location before you go. Prepare your computer devices yourself before drop-off, because data preparation is the donor’s responsibility.

Check each item before you take it

  1. 1.Find a participating Dell Reconnect collection site rather than assuming every Goodwill has the program.
  2. 2.Check the program’s accepted computer equipment list and ask the site about your exact item. Computers, laptops and printers do not establish acceptance of TVs or kitchen appliances.
  3. 3.Remove personal data from computer devices before the handoff and confirm the site’s current donation hours.

How Dropcurb fits

For accepted leftovers such as a laptop, desktop computer or box of small electronics already outside and accessible, Dropcurb handles loading, transport and disposal. You can book before moving items outside, but they must be ready in an accessible outdoor location before pickup. If you need indoor carrying, use a service that includes it.
