Since 2004, Goodwill Industries and Dell, Inc. have worked together to responsibly recycle unwanted electronics at no cost to the public. To date, the Reconnect partnership has collected more than 50 million pounds of electronics.

Simply take your unwanted electronics -- any brand, any condition -- to a participating Goodwill store or Goodwill donation drop-off site. Goodwill will refurbish or recycle the equipment, benefiting communities and putting people to work. Read a list of items that are accepted.

In its fifth year, the Reconnect partnership is expanding its reach across the United States, allowing more people to keep their electronics out of landfills. By April 2009, 80 Goodwills will be participating in the Reconnect partnership in 30 U.S. states.
