Today’s computers are faster and more versatile than yesterday’s crop. With faster microprocessor speeds, better ergonomic engineering, and more choices in terms of software, the latest computers are fast replacing yesterday’s models. The speed of computer development and improvement, moreover, can make today’s models obsolete mere months after they are released.

Old computers and used computer parts, however, are not entirely useless. Some old computers can still be used for simple tasks, such as typing out documents, making simple spreadsheets, or calculating sums. If you have old computers at home, you may want to donate old computer parts, laptops, or computers to those who cannot afford them, but who need them.

Donate a Computer

Some components of yesterday’s computers, such as keyboards, modems, or disk drives, can still be used in today’s models. You can donate old computer parts to small businesses that may need replacements for defective drives, which can be expensive if bought from a store. As long as the keyboard is clean, the modem is working, and the disk drive can still read floppy disks or compact disks, then you can donate old computer parts either through a go-between organization, or directly to those who need them.

You can also donate a computer or laptops to writing groups or rental centers catering to indigent students. Writers will often have little money on hand to purchase a computer, while indigent students will need computers to type their reports and assignments. You can also donate laptops to writing groups, which can rent laptops out to freelance writers.

Used Computer Donations

If you are interested in making used computer donations, gather your used computer and computer parts together, and bring them to your local donation center. Once there, you can inquire about what computer parts can still be used, and which businesses or groups may need used computers or computer parts.

You can allow needy computer users to save money if you donate old computer parts and computers to them. Not only can you get rid of your old computers, but you can also put them to good use, instead of throwing them into the trash bin.
