Computer Reclamation
 
I run RecycleMyComputer, an organization that recycles used computers, refurbishes them, and then donates them to people who can't afford a computer.  RecycleMyComputer is made possible through the generous sponsorship of OASIS.  Donations of computer equipment made to RecycleMyComputer are tax deductible.  If you donate a computer to us, we will be happy to send you a receipt that you can use for tax purposes.

We accept Pentium 3 computers 800 mhtz or better.  There is generally a sticker on the front of the computer.  If the sticker says Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Pentium 3, or Pentium 4, we can make use of it.  Computers that don't have one of these stickers on them should be recycled at the County Landfill.  The computer does not have to be in working condition, because we are able to repair them.  We also accept monitors, printers, keyboards, mice, etc.  All of these must be in working condition.

Everyone on the RecycleMyComputer staff is a volunteer.  Due to our limited staff we are unable to pick up donated computers.  If you wish to donate a computer, drop it off at 4805 Edgemoor Lane in Bethesda, Md. 20814.  Drop-off hours are between 12 noon and 3:00 pm, Monday through Thursday.  It is a bit hard to find the office, so please read the written directions which will help you locate us.
 
If you are donating a computer, come up to our office and we will loan you a cart, which you can use to transport your computer from your car to our office.

If you wish to apply to receive a refurbished computer or know someone who needs a refurbished computer, call OASIS at 301-469-6800 to request an application form.  Seniors receive preference for these computers.  There is a $10 administrative fee charged to receive a donated computer.  Recipients will have to pick up their computer at our Edgemoor Lane office.  We do not deliver.
 
RecycleMyComputer is located in the Bethesda Chevy Chase Services Center building at 4805 Edgemoor Lane in Bethesda, Md. 20814.  A map is shown below.  Written directions to reach our building are also available.
