Donate Computers

Tools for Schools urgently require desktops and laptops in good working order for recycling from corporations, with minimum specifications of Pentium 3 and 4 (or equivalent) 

Our recycling service offers a collection of 20 or more systems that are in good working order free of charge. This service also includes full data wiping of donated equipment to government standards, along with a full audit report and certficate of destruction.

If after collection, large numbers of donated equipment are found to be faulty and only fit for disposal, charges as follows will have to be made to cover disposal costs.

Each company has its own reason for supporting Tools for Schools, but a common theme is the recognition that today’s pupils are tomorrow’s professionals.

The corporate sector needs an IT-skilled workforce – in giving young people better access to new technology, Tools for Schools is helping them prepare for the workplace.
