Computer and electronics recycling in Victoria BC Canada, done with ethics.
FREE pick up in most areas of Greater Victoria, including from Sooke to Sidney.
We PAY YOU 25 cents per pound (no computer is too old!) and donate many items to local families in need, local charities and non-profits, all while diverting tonnes of old computers and electronics out of landfill and the smelter.
WHY DO WE PAY? Because families in need cannot. Please think of us first, and remember us when you have old electronics you no longer need, in our goal to help out others.
We want to REHOME and DONATE your computer to a family that needs it! If your laptop or desktop is 2021 or newer, please let us know and we'll do our best to match any trade-in price.
Anything that is still in working order but cannot be rehomed after our best efforts, such as obsolete items, dated hardware, etc., is sold online and the funds donated to local charities and non-profits (see photos below).
** 100% Data Erasure at no charge ** We format drives to remove all data before recycling.
In the Media: We've been featured on CTV News for our local donations to the Bridges for Women Society.

Appreciate you dropping by and picking up our old laptop for free, and even giving us five bucks for it! The computer repair store told me to throw it in the garbage, glad you offer this service!
