Dell Reconnect Computer Recycling Program

Goodwill Industries of Tulsa Partners With Dell Reconnect 
A Free Computer Recycling Program

     Dell and Goodwill Industries of Tulsa have partnered to Reconnect, a no-charge computer recycling program for consumers. The program is intended to raise awareness of the importance of responsible computer disposal and give residents a free and convenient way to do the right thing with their unwanted computer equipment.

     Reconnect is managed by Dell and Goodwill Industries. The program offers more than 2,000 drop off locations for consumers throughout the United States. Oklahoma is one of 24 statewide programs plus the District of Columbia. Goodwill Industries of Tulsa’s 27 donation sites are participating drop-off locations. Donors may request receipts at the time of their donation to receive tax deductions. All proceeds of value recovered from the recycled computer equipment go to Goodwill to support job training and employment services programs.

      Mike Watson, senior manager of Dell Global Recycling Services: “We believe it should be as easy to recycle a computer as it is to purchase one. Our partnership with Goodwill makes recycling incredibly convenient for consumers. That it helps create jobs and preserve our planet at the same time makes the program a win all the way around.”

       Jim Gibbons, president of CEO for Goodwill Industries International: “The Dell-Reconnect partnership with Goodwill is a great model for the technology industry. The partnership has not only allowed us to responsibly recycle and divert more than 50 million pounds of electronic equipment from the landfills, but also create green-collar jobs and skills training at a time when both are very much needed.”

        Goodwill Industries of Tulsa will gladly accept donations of computers equipment at any of their 27 donation sites.
