The Reconnect program from Dell and Goodwill Industries International will be made accessible to 451 new sites, helping broaden their scope in enticing people to recycle unwanted computer equipment in a move that is associated on controlling the growing problem we have when it comes to e-waste. Seven additional states will be covered: Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma and West Virginia. Currently, Reconnect is available in 18 states.

Reconnect offers consumers a free, convenient and responsible way to recycle used computer equipment. Consumers can drop off any brand of used equipment at participating Goodwill donation centers in their area and request a donation receipt for tax purposes.

This program aims to preach the right way to dispose of computer equipment while at the same time providing job opportunities for individuals with disabilities or others having a hard time finding employment.
