Donate e-waste and contribute to the circular economy

Do you have an old laptop or tablet sitting in your junk drawer? If so, our social impact partner Pyxera Global would like to take it off your hands!

Pyxera Global is implementing a project, sponsored by FedEx, to develop circular business models for the logistics industry. This project will test how logistic companies like FedEx can integrate circularity into its business operations, while simultaneously reducing e-waste and closing the loop on electronic materials. E-waste is now the fastest growing waste stream in the world.

About this project:

• When is this happening?
  You can send in your device(s) through January 31, 2024.
  Continental U.S. residents ONLY

• What types of electronics are we accepting?
  You can send all of your used laptops or tablets, regardless of brand, age, or wear and tear…even if they don’t turn on anymore. Just make sure it is a personal, not a corporate device. Also, please include any charging cables if you have them, but they are not required.

• How many devices can I send in?
  As many as you want! But even sending in just one old laptop or tablet is extremely helpful.

• What about PCs and smartphones?
  Unfortunately, PCs and smartphones are not being accepted as part of this initial pilot project.

• What will happen to my data?
  All donations will be sent directly to a certified repair and recycling facility located outside Nashville, TN. Every data bearing device will be wiped and/or physically destroyed in accordance with the R2v3 standards.

• Can I share this opportunity?
  Absolutely! Feel free to share this with friends and family who you think might be interested in participating.

• What is the shipping process?
  Done with IT does NOT provide packaging materials, only the FedEx shipping labels. Please consider reusing an old box and packing materials first and use the smallest box possible. Please note, a special laptop box is NOT needed for this shipment, simply any brown box with some packing materials will suffice.
