A non-profit organization that aims to provide low-income individuals, people with disabilities, schools, and libraries with FREE recycled computers to fit their current needs.
Our goal: To recycle old, unwanted or non-functioning laptops/desktops and provide low income individuals and families with the tools they need to improve their current situation, especially when they are looking for employment or school work, or simply cannot afford a computer to support their current needs. Every single computer donated helps someone in need!
The backbone of the RUTB program is the corporate and personal donations of used working computers and parts. The program relies on donations of desktop computers, laptops and accessories to provide free computers to people with special needs or those who genuinely can't afford to purchase one themselves.
Our basic procedure to donated computers works like this:
* We take the donated computers and wipe all data from the hard drive. This is done using a method called “Disk Wiping or Disk Scrubbing” where it securely destroys all the data by passing and overwriting the entire hard drive several times.
* Then we determine and install an operating system with basic programs and utilities that will allow the user to use the internet, write resumes, make presentations and work on spreadsheets. We can even install specific systems that are specifically designed for the individuals main needs for the computer. Such as Education-based software, distributions of Linux for word-processing, media, web browsing, all the above and more!!
All donations can be scheduled for pick-up or drop-off. Whichever bests suits your time schedule. If you have any questions about our service please don't hesitate to ask!
If you would like to make a donation please contact by e-mail at:

Or by calling/text message to: (613) 803-0672
**All donations are accepted, doesn't matter the size or amount, functioning operating system or not working, viruses or slow. We ONLY ask that the computer can at least power-on as we DO NOT refurbish or fix the hardware in them, we just simply reinstall various operating systems and tweak them so they can be used again **
