Tech Collection

Repurpose your unwanted digital tech

Whatever your reason, we hop you will be able to support our ongoing campaign to help repurpose unwanted digital devices to those nearby who need them most.

Where do the devices go?

We work with pioneering local organisation Digital Access West Yorkshire to help connect communities and families across Leeds and Bradford. The recipients are referred by local community organisations or schools.

Is my equipment and data secure?

Digital Access West Yorkshire will wipe, reset, clean and before they are distributed. No personal data will remain on any device. If you prefer, you can wipe your own machine before donating it, following the guidelines.

What can I donate?

Devices (ideally including charging cables, etc.) should ideally be less than 5 years old and in working order.

Older equipment in working order may also be accepted, but please check with us first.

How can I donate?

Donations should be put into a bag or box, with chargers attached or bagged with the relevant device. Drop off or collection can be arranged by emailing tech-collection@climateactionilkley.org.uk.
