Where it goes

What Happens to Donated Equipment at RecycleComputers4Cancer.org

All donated computers and electronics are carefully processed through one of three streams:

1. Reuse for Cancer Patients and Survivors
   The most recent and high-performing computers are securely wiped—meeting Department of Defense data destruction standards—and then donated to cancer patients and survivors in need.

2. Resale to Support Cancer Research
   Gently used equipment is refurbished and resold, with 100% of proceeds funding cancer research and supporting initiatives at SMCAC.org. As with all devices, data is wiped to Department of Defense standards.

3. Responsible Recycling
   Older or non-functional equipment is broken down and recycled by material type. All hard drives undergo physical destruction to ensure complete data security.
