Where can I donate my old printer?

Instead of sending your old, functional printer to the curb to become waste, consider donating it instead!

When you donate your printer, you are providing schools, low-income families, and non-profit organizations with the equipment they may not be able to otherwise afford.

The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that electronics waste makes up approximately one percent on the municipal waste stream, and is expected to grow at three times the rate of other municipal wastes as time goes on. You can help change that by donating your printer and other electronics hardware.

You can find locations to donate your printer by visiting the following sites:
