How it works
A donation portal — not a corporate assessment.
01
Tell us the kit
Laptops, desktops, screens, a small server — quantity is enough.
02
Address and window
Home collection from anywhere in the world. Labels are addressed to Rădăuți, Suceava, Romania.
03
Pay the courier
Live rates from Shippo. You see the price before you pay. We never take card details on RecyclicTech pages.
04
Print the label
AWB / shipping label as a PDF, packing instructions, tracking, and a hash-chained chain of custody against your EDU- reference.
05
Hand the box over
A courier collects the sealed carton in your chosen window.
06
Education reuse
Working devices are refurbished for classrooms. The rest is wiped and recycled.
Refurbished IT in education reuse
Viable equipment from RecyclicTech collections is refurbished and directed to education — a reuse route after data sanitisation.
Transcript
A computer classroom representing education reuse. RecyclicTech refurbishes suitable collected devices for schools and universities after data wiping.
Data is closed
Drives are wiped or destroyed before reuse. Payment opens a hash-chained custody trail against your EDU- reference.
Value to education
Most residual value after logistics supports refurbished classroom kit.
Worldwide collection
A courier collects a sealed box from your address. Labels go to Rădăuți, Romania.
Packing
Seal it once. We handle the rest.
Use a rigid carton
A double-walled box that still closes flat. No supermarket bags. Fill empty corners with paper, not foam peanuts if you can avoid them.
Remove loose data first if you can
Take out spare USB sticks and external drives you want to keep. Anything you send will be treated as data-bearing until it is wiped or destroyed.
Do not send lithium damage
Swollen batteries, wet devices or equipment that smells of solvent cannot travel. Recycle those locally and donate the rest.
Seal and label
Tape every seam. Stick the AWB on the largest face. Keep a copy of the tracking number.
Two different doors
Household donation ≠ corporate ITAD.
If you are an organisation emptying a floor or a hall, do not use this portal. Request a free assessment — collection, de-installation and documentation are on us.
Questions
Straight answers.
Is this the same as the free corporate collection?+
No. Organisations retiring IT estates use the free assessment — collection is on us. This campaign is for private individuals. You pay the courier so the residual value of the kit can go to education rather than covering logistics.
Do you pay me for the equipment?+
No. This is a donation, not a purchase. You cover shipping. RecyclicTech does not invoice a donation fee.
What about data on the drives?+
Assume every device is data-bearing. We sanitise media before reuse or destroy it. If a drive must be physically shredded, say so in the notes.
Which payment provider do you use?+
Stripe Checkout is the live processor for this worldwide campaign (cards, Apple Pay, and local methods in the same session). RecyclicTech pages never collect card numbers.
Can I donate from anywhere in the world?+
Yes. The portal prices a collection from your address to our inbound processing depot at Strada Putnei 213, 725400 Rădăuți, Suceava, Romania. That address is for parcels only — it is not a public drop-off office. You pay the courier; live Shippo rates are shown when the carrier can quote, otherwise a published rate card.
Can I see what happened to my donation?+
Yes. Payment opens a SHA-256 audit trail against your EDU- reference — ISO/IEC 27001:2022 aligned logging, not a company certificate number. Later stages (received, wiped, routed to education) stay blank until they actually happen. Open it from the confirmation page.
