Buy a Recycled PC
Continually practicing and utilizing the computer is the most effective way to become technologically proficient. However, not everyone can afford the latest technology. In fact, some older computer equipment serves people's uses just fine. And it's a shame to throw away perfectly functioning equipment when there is such a demand for it. In ELTC's Computer-Aid Program we collect, refurbish and distribute used (recycled) computer hardware to our clients. We accept Pentium III 1Ghz/Pentium 4 (roughly from 2001 on) and higher computers and working 15 inch or larger CRT monitors, but prefer LCD. We are no longer accepting INKJET printers. Help us help those in need and have your used computers continue to lead a useful life!
