Dell and Goodwill Industries International™ are expanding Reconnect, a free drop-off program for consumers who want to responsibly recycle any brand of unwanted computer equipment, to 451 new donation sites in seven additional states — Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma and West Virginia. They’re also expanding the program in Wisconsin to the Southeastern and South Central parts of the state.

Reconnect is now available in 18 U.S. states, plus the District of Columbia.

Today’s announcement brings the number of Goodwill stores participating in Reconnect to more than 1,400 nationwide. Goodwill, focused on creating job opportunities for individuals with disabilities or others having a hard time finding employment, plans to hire additional staff to oversee the expanded recycling program.

Reconnect offers consumers a free, convenient and responsible way to recycle used computer equipment. Consumers can drop off any brand of used equipment at participating Goodwill donation centers in their area and request a donation receipt for tax purposes.
