Wanted: Laptops/Desktops for Second-Life Project

Hi neighbors, I run a small local project rescuing older, sluggish computers, clearing them completely, and refreshing them into fast, reliable machines for students, remote workers, or anyone needing a budget-friendly station. If you have an old laptop or desktop sitting in a closet or drawer that you no longer use, I would love to take it off your hands and give it a meaningful second life for someone needing a low-cost PC. What I am looking for: • PC Laptops & Desktops: Windows computers from roughly 2014 to 2021 (even if they feel too slow for Windows 10/11, they are perfect for this project). • Apple Laptops & Desktops: MacBook, mac Mini, iMac models from 2012 to 2017. ⚠️ Note on Condition: To ensure these machines can successfully find a new home, donated systems must be functional (they must turn on, have a working screen, keyboard, mouse, and include their power cords). I’m unable to accept broken hardware, cracked screens, or units for recycling/scrap parts. Privacy & Data Safety First: Data security is incredibly important to me. Before any machine is worked on, the hard drive is completely securely erased and wiped clean to the factory standard—your old personal files, passwords, and accounts will be permanently destroyed. If you have a working machine from this age range that you’d like to clear out of your space and donate, please send me a direct message with a quick photo or the model number. I can arrange a fast, contact-free pickup at your convenience. Thank you, your donation provides a second-life & brand new experience as a budget-friendly PC, and helps keep older computer hardware out of our local landfills!
