PSA: NC businesses and organizations can recycle old computers for free instead of sending them to a landfill

Triangle Ecycling is offering free bulk computer / laptop pickup for NC-based organizations (businesses, government offices, etc.) and processes everything through an R2-certified zero-landfill recycler. Comes with a serialized inventory and certificate of destruction, which matters if you have compliance requirements.

They also run a program that trains public school students in computer refurbishment and IT skills, and they donate 500+ refurbished computers a year to nonprofits and families. They're a nonprofit and direct 10% of proceeds to other nonprofits supporting education, families and the environment.

Request pickup via their web form or by phone and they usually respond within an hour.

*There are cases where it becomes more of a low cost scenario, like 20 big ancient Cisco phones or something like this.
