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.
With your help, we have kept over 56,040 lbs of electronics out of landfill and the smelter since 2018, and are looking forward to a successful 2024!
Whether you have one laptop or 40 office desktop PCs, we pick up them all.
You can also email us for specific inquiries.

We may be able to pickup but sorry, no payment:
** We CAN NO LONGER accommodate pickup of TVs, printers / copiers / fax machines or scanners or UPS / battery backup devices - they generally have no reusable parts and little to no secondary demand.**

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!

Thanks again Don for picking up the old computer and stereo pieces! I used to make a trip or two a year to the return it depot on Glanford but now I know to call you and you bring me a few $ for my old stuff! Awesome!!

Hi Don, thank you very much for sending me the thank you card and scratch tickets! That was very kind of you! I should be thanking YOU again for picking up those old electronics! Hope you're having a great day and enjoy the weekend! With gratitude,

Wow! I really can't believe that Don just showed up at my door with a free computer!! He really does re-home tech... a bona fide essential service in today's throwaway tech universe.
