How Surplus Tech is Protecting the Planet

6,000 Devices Donated! How Surplus Tech is Changing Lives and Protecting the Planet

We are thrilled to announce an incredible milestone: 6,000 devices donated! This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of our amazing community.

The impact goes far beyond providing digital access. By giving these devices a second life, we have avoided an estimated 1,890,000 kg of CO₂ emissions – almost 1,900 tonnes, which is equivalent to roughly 790 return flights from London to New York!

Bridging the Digital Divide in Our Local Community

Despite this milestone, the need for digital connection continues to grow. Every week, we meet more individuals who need a working device and guidance to stay connected. Restored laptops and tablets directly feed into our grassroots community programs, powering free digital skills training in the UKbasic IT skills courses for free, and digital literacy courses in the UK.

We put these devices straight to work across key community hubs:

  • Wandsworth Library & Battersea Library: Interactive drop-ins and practical digital workshops.
  • Southfields Library & Roehampton Library: 1-on-1 support for device setup, job searches, and online services.
  • Tooting Library: Online safety and digital confidence sessions.

Power Your CSR Strategy & Sustainability Goals

For businesses, hardware donation is one of the simplest ways to merge environmental action with social good. Supporting a computer recycling charity or choosing to recycle computers near you helps organisations strengthen their CSR strategyESG strategy, and broader sustainability goals:

  • Environmental Sustainability: Divert e-waste from landfills and support sustainable corporate practices by choosing to recycle electrical items.
  • Community Impact & Social Value: Turn unused assets into tools that drive digital inclusion and create measurable social value.
  • Corporate Volunteering: Engage your workforce through corporate volunteering, skilled mentorship, or signing up as a technology volunteer.
  • Impact Reporting: Gain clear, transparent data on carbon reduction and social good for your annual impact reporting.
