Provides a place for businesses to buy and sell used
computers.
Excellent place for businesses to deal in used

We suggest you first try the public
service organizations listed above, since they can directly use your donated
computer for further public service work. But many thrift shops also accept
at least some computers. They’re listed under “Thift Shops” in the Yellow
Pages. Using the smaller, local neighborhood Yellow Pages, you can more
easily find a place right in your area. We still recommend calling the thrift
shop to make sure they’ll accept your specific donation.
