Computer Recycling

NOTE: The Drexel Computer Recycling Program is currently on pause. This page will be updated when the program commences.


DCR logoThe Drexel Computer Recycling Program (DCR) helps University departments guarantee data security on existing computers that have reached the end-of-life stage for departments and allows these computers to be refurbished for reuse (if applicable). DCR will pick up computers from Drexel University, the College of Medicine, and the Academy of Natural Sciences and bring them to a secure location on the University City Campus. Hard drives will be secured prior to erasing data or destruction and the equipment will be assessed to determine what recycle stream will be used.

Prior to donation please, copy/back-up all data from these computers that you may need. Once the computer is picked-up you will no longer be able to access its contents.

Please note the following:

  • Unusable equipment will be securely recycled as e-waste through a responsible, sustainable, secure and documented e-waste provider.
  • If a large number of computers are requested for donation, DCR may, due to space limitations, sell some computers to make space and to help fund this program.
  • DO NOT donate the following through the DCR Program:
    • Computer Furniture, Copiers, CRT monitors, Fax machines, Printers, Rack mount cabinets, Servers, Toner, Uninterruptable Power Supplies
      You may sell this type of equipment through Drexel Surplus or submit a Facilities Work Request for pickup and disposal.
