Strategy
Computer Aid offers a decommissioning service to UK companies, government departments and universities that are upgrading their computer systems – donated PCs are data-wiped, refurbished and tested.[1] Non profit organisations in the developing world can apply for refurbished computers for educational projects.[2] They also run their own projects, such as Digital Schools where computer labs are set up.
UK IT Donors
Computer Aid has partnered with Tier 1 to offer a secure service to UK companies and organisations replacing their hardware. The charity provides end-of-life IT asset management services, which include data removal, computer refurbishment, reuse, and recycling.
