Donate Your Unwanted Electronics, Safely

We know that technology changes quickly, and sometimes that leaves you with a box full of electronics that you may not want anymore. Instead of tossing those items in the trash where they can leak toxic chemicals into our landfills, or end up in compromising hands, donate them to Goodwill. You’ll ensure a safe second chance and help your local community!

Computer Donations & Purchases

Purchasing a computer can be expensive and the specs can get confusing. Triad Goodwill makes it easy, thanks to our generous donors and trained computer repair technicians. Every computer we sell has been refurbished and certified by our team of Microsoft Registered Refurbishers. They wipe information from hard drives using U.S. Department of Defense-approved software This ensures our donors’ safety and privacy. Hard drives that we are unable to refurbish are destroyed off-site with R2/e-Steward recyclers.

Computers start at just $99 and are available at select locations. See a sales attendant for questions or to make a purchase.
