Don’t Dump Your Electronics. Donate Them!

Any Brand, Any Condition, It’s all GOOD!

Out-of-date workstations and devices are worth a lot to Goodwill. In fact, we’ve partnered with Dell’s Reconnect program to help you easily and responsibly recycle household electronic wares. Bring computers and peripherals to any participating Goodwill Industries of Greater Nebraska retail location and we’ll give you a receipt. Helping save the planet isn’t just tax-deductible. It’s free!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Dell Reconnect is a recycling partnership with Goodwill® Industries offering consumers throughout the United States a free and convenient way to responsibly recycle their used electronics.

The process is simple:

  1. Make sure Dell Reconnect accepts your item
  2. Take your used technology, of any brand, in any condition, to a participating Goodwill drop off location.

In some locations, Goodwill employees determine if an item is able to be resold or recycled. If it is still useable, Goodwill will refurbish the item and sell it through their stores.

Consumers should remove personal data from hard drives and other storage media before donating to Goodwill.  

Dell’s approach to the handling of data storage devices returned to Dell and for any services carried out at your location aligns to the National Institute of Standards and Technology “Guidelines for Media Sanitization” (“NIST 800-88 r1”), and Dell will either:

  1. Sanitize the device (in accordance with NIST 800-88 r1 “purge” or “clear” methods) in preparation for reuse; or
  2. Destroy the device using physical shredding or other appropriate physical destruction methods (in accordance with NIST SP 800- 88 r1 “destroy” methods) when Dell elects not to reuse the device or when it is pre-sorted for recycling.

For more information, please see the Dell Media Sanitization Statement.

Dell Reconnect is unique because:

  • It’s free to consumers
  • Your item may qualify as a charitable donation.
