Delaware and Conn. A nominal fee may apply for pickups of only a few items."

The Used Computer Mall
Phone:
1-619-850-8343
Website: www.usedcomputer.com
Provides a place for businesses to buy and sell used
computers.
Excellent place for businesses to
deal in used computers and other products for a low monthly price. –LOL
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.
