Goodwill Industries of Northeast Iowa, Inc. helps reduce the amount of waste going into our landfills by taking donations that are not suitable for resale and recycles them through salvage and secondary market partnerships.
These partnerships generate additional funding streams for Goodwill’s vocational training and employment opportunities in our community.
DELL RECONNECT
Goodwill is in its 11th year of partnership with Dell. Dell is committed to the proper disposal of e-waste and the recycling of e-material whenever possible. Goodwill accepts all forms of computer parts and peripherals. All data storage is destroyed in the process of handling. Goodwill recycles approximately 12 to 15 truckloads of e-waste each year; that’s nearly 300 tons annually! For more information, keep reading or contact us.
Dell Reconnect accepts any brand of used computer equipment in any condition. We also accept just about anything that can be connected to a computer, including:
