Does it actually make an impact?
Where do donated laptops actually go?
Yes. Every donated device is addressed to Strada Putnei 213, 725400 Rădăuți, Suceava, Romania — a processing depot, not a walk-in shop. RecyclicTech treats it as data-bearing, sanitises to NIST SP 800-88, and routes working kit toward classroom reuse in Ukraine, Moldova, rural Romania, Serbia, Montenegro and the Western Balkans. RecyclicTech donates thousands of machines this way. Pins on the map are those destinations. Photographs of the people who receive a machine stay off this site.

The first stop is always the same street
If a page tells you the laptop flies straight to a named pupil, it is not this page. The carton is labelled to Rădăuți. Wipe happens there. Routing happens after a machine still works.
Public programmes we do not impersonate
Cândești and Mihăileni appear because Romanian reporting named them in Dăm Click pe România. UNICEF Ukraine documented laptop gaps. RecyclicTech is not those programmes. We point at them.
