Frequently Asked Questions
Questions from Donors

Q: How do I donate or dispose of my equipment?
You may list your offering here,
it will be posted here,
and a nonprofit participant will contact you
if you have something they need or want.
Q: What sort of items do you accept?
You may offer to donate anything you feel would be useful, only please describe your offering accurately and truthfully. List anything reusable you would like liquidate or remove from storage, including obsolete computers, educational and office supplies, equipment and furnishings. Some organizations will collect used cellphones, printer cartridges, and other redeemable items. We serve a variety of growing nonprofit groups who often have a multitude of needs.
Q: Where are you located and do you pickup?
Recycles.Org is a network of individual, independent, and unaffiliated nonprofit organizations linked together through this website. When you offer to donate equipment, if what you have to offer is useful to one of our participants, you will be contacted by them through our system. Upon receiving a request, you will be supplied with complete location and contact information for the participating organization. We are an exchange network, comprised of hundreds of participating nonprofit organizations with locations throughout the world. Your offer is presented to our participants in a structured and confidential manner, making the process of giving easy, convenient, and secure.
Q: How are donated computers used?
Each nonprofit organization contacting you will list their organizational goals and objectives. You are provided with complete contact information each time a request is made. If you decide to give to a particular group, strike up an email dialogue with them, and ask them directly about your concerns. Within each request, a telephone number will be included if you would prefer to make voice contact.
Q: Is my contact information protected from spam or abuse?
Yes. Requests will be forwarded to you from participating organizations through this website. You may ignore or respond to any request at your own discretion. Your contact information will never be revealed by us to anyone and will remain confidential. To stop receiving requests, simply cancel your offer at anytime.
Q: How do I change or cancel my offer once submitted?
Immediately upon submitting your offer the information is distributed to our participants, therefore you must cancel your original offer and submit your offer again. There is a direct link to cancel your offer on every email we send to you. Upon cancelling any offer, all related requests for that particular offer will immediately cease.
Q: Do you assess a value for tax purposes?
With certain exceptions, nonprofits are instructed not to place a value on donated goods. The donor is responsible for setting the value of a gift, which may be based on fair market value. Businesses may have already expensed items and will therefore have no deduction beside shipping costs.
Q: Do you scrub, wipe, or clean hard drives?
You must make arrangements with the nonprofit group with whom you choose to donate, or do the job yourself. Sensitive data should never leave your hands without legal assurance of destruction. To do the job yourself, you will find several free software downloads listed in this Google Directory which will guide you through the process.
Q: I have a another question and want to know more.
An extended FAQ with questions of concern to participating nonprofit organizations is now under development here. Please list your equipment here or contact us directly for personal service.
