How It Works
From donation to distribution, every device goes through a responsible, community-focused process.
1. You Donate
Drop off your old electronics at our Tempe facility or schedule a pickup. We accept almost everything, working or not.
2. We Refurbish
Our team and volunteers inspect, clean, repair, and restore devices to working condition — ready for a second life.
3. We Distribute
Refurbished devices go to students, schools, nonprofits, and community members across Arizona who need them most.
4. We Protect the Planet
What can’t be reused is responsibly recycled, keeping millions of pounds of e-waste out of Arizona landfills every year.

Jared's Fun Finds
Every week, all sorts of technology passes through our doors on its way to a second life — and every so often, something truly special turns up. Fun Finds is Jared's video series celebrating those gems: the vintage, the rare, and the wonderfully weird. From handheld cassette recorders and 8mm camcorders to MiniDiscs, Betamax, retro robots, and the occasional duck lamp, he unpacks the story and nostalgia behind each one.
