Disposing of obsolete PCs and other computer hardware is becoming an increasing problem for parishes and schools. The list below identifies three agencies that are willing to accept donations of used hardware. These agencies also provide refurbished hardware to schools and possibly parishes at a low cost. Also, the Wisconsin Department of Corrections will recycle equipment with little residual value.
