Desktop computers aren't only everywhere , but for the most part even the new ones are obsolete after just a year. This is not to claim they aren't still in use, but upgrades for desktop PCs happen so fast and the programme development moves just as quick. many people feel the urge to stay alongside of the times and get a new computer virtually as quickly as they hit the market.
There's the problem of the old computer and its fate after the new one is installed in the office or home.
For the main part, the old PCs simply are put on a shelf, in case there are any problems with the new one and in time are simply forgotten. There's a way though, to aid others out with these older, gently used computers that can put a few dollars back into the your pocket.
These older computers are likely still in good working condition, unlike all laptop computers which take rather a beating, and with the flick of a switch, may be put right into use. There are organisations which will take these computers and distribute them to good causes such as college and work force development centres. This permits some other person to get even more use out of something that its previous owner grew beyond but is not non-operational just yet.
A mention of profit was made at the beginning and this comes from the tax deduction that most donators will qualify for, once the computer has either been dropped off or picked up. The majority of recyclers that work with these PCs are nonprofit setups that may turn over an invoice when the PC is delivered into their hands. This can then be subtracted off the donator's taxes on the following year's filing.
This is a twofold win as the deduction can help with the taxes and the donation of the computer will go to a deserving cause. This allows the donator to help others and at the same time they're helping themselves. This is a win win situation for all parties concerned and will be considered before letting that slightly older computer just get dusty instead of being used.
