Business Donations

Your donation to the Computer Re-life Program at Ruth's Reusable Resources is your organization's best way to donate your unwanted working electronic equipment. When donating to Ruth’s Reusable Resources, you can be assured that your donation will be reused by schools and nonprofit organizations throughout Maine and New England.

The Computer Re-life Program keeps records of

all electronic equipment leaving the center.  This includes recording

serial numbers, descriptions of equipment and listing of the school or

non-profit that is receiving the equipment. Before any equipment leaves the center,

we require a signature, from the person who has authority, to be sure of 

the equipment's proper use and the proper end of life disposal.

Ruth's Reusable Resources does not distribute

donated electronic equipment to private enterprises, wholesalers or

distributors.

Large donations by companies, businesses and

schools (unless otherwise agreed upon) are made available only to schools,

nonprofits and their employees. Large donations are defined by ongoing

donations of 10 or more items of one category (laptops, tablets, displays etc.) in a given year.

Your Donations of current, working electronic equipment is an easy way to provide schools and non-profits with an inexpensive way to acquire much needed computer equipment.  It also provides Ruth's Reusable Resources with the necessary revenues to help with the operations of the many important services provided to the schools throughout Maine and New England.

To ensure that organizations are receiving quality equipment in working order, the Computer Re-life Program charges the receiving organization a handling fee to cover costs of testing, recording, documenting and distributing.
