Computer Recycling

Computer Recycling Center

Non-profit organizations like the Computer Recycling Center donate computers to public schools and community nonprofit organizations, and provide a place to recycle used computer equipment.

Arizona StRUT

Formed in 1997, AZStRUT is a partnership between local schools and businesses, where students learn new skills by refurbishing used computer equipment. The equipment is then donated to schools and other qualified non-profit organizations throughout Arizona. Over 100 companies such as Intel, Avnet and APS currently donate hardware through the program.

AZStRUT teachers train over 500 students each year at schools across Arizona. The students are given the opportunity to work on computers and get the kind of valuable hands-on experience that companies are looking for, and the completed systems are donated to non-profit organizations such as local schools and charities.

Their goal is collecting used technology equipment to be redeployed for use in schools or responsibly recycled. Students get involved by evaluating, repairing, and refurbishing different models of computers.
