Pre-loved electronic devices, such as desktop computers, laptops and mobile phones, that would normally be recycled as e-waste are being refurbished to support workers and students impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you have pre-loved, good quality IT equipment that you no longer use or were considering recycling as e-waste, please consider donating!
To help bring connection to those who need it most during the COVID-19 crisis, GIVIT has partnered with Canberra based IT company SOLVit Network Support.
The partnership will redistribute pre-loved IT equipment across the capital region to those who need it most during the COVID-19 crisis.
SOLVit is donating time to prepare these devices, clearing them of all data making them ready to go safely and securely to a new home. GIVIT is distributing all devices to trusted registered organisations across the region, to ensure devices get to the people who need them.
