Laptop Recycling

Posted on by
We are pleased to report that our laptop recycling project has processed around 20 laptops, wiping the data and installing Windows 10, Linux Mint or ChromeOS Flex. The majority were rehomed with people who needed a laptop, two were donated to the Air Ambulance charity, four were returned to their owners with a new lease of life, and only three had to be scrapped.
If you have a laptop that you would like to be reset, bring it along to the Shed. When we have more laptops donated, reset and ready for use, we’ll announce it on our Facebook page, with details of how they will be made available.
Please let us know before you plan to bring us any desktop PCs, monitors or printers, as we don’t have room to store them.
