Many companies, universities, libraries, and individuals regularly donate their used computers and other gear to WCE. They are an integral part of our success.

If we have a Chapter near you, you can arrange a time to drop-off  your equipment.  Some chapters have volunteers who can make pick-ups of 8 full sets of computers or more.  If we are picking up working monitors only, we ask for a donation fo $10 each.  No Chapter nearby?  You can mail your working Pentium 4 desktop or laptop computer (does not make sense to mail CRT [large] monitors) to: World Computer Exchange, 936 Nantasket Avenue, Hull, Massachusetts 02045. 

If you have a large technology donation, contact Donations@WorldComputerExchange.org and we will try to make arrangements to get your donation.

Non-qualifying Equipment: If you have a computer or equipment that is not on our ‘needs’ list and cannot find another home for it, please dispose of it properly rather than place it in the trash. Many municipalities now have recycling programs for old equipment that recovers valuable metals keeps the many toxic metals and other parts out of landfills. There is often a small charge for proper disposal. Contact your local recycling coordinator or Department of Public Works for more information.

How to tell if your computer is a Pentium 4

Usually there is a small sticker on the right front of your computer toward the bottom of the face of your computer that says "Pentium 4".
