Finding a Home for your Old Computer

While the VCC is not in the business of refurbishing old computers, we do encourage and facilitate the donation of computer equipment to a group of independent refurbishing volunteers, as a service to our community.  You may drop off this equipment at any of the club’s Friday meetings where it will be collected by the refurbishing group. You also may arrange for a pickup of your donations by contacting Fred Whitson at fdwhitson@aol.com.  This equipment is then repaired and restored for use by needy residents of our area.  The VCC cannot provide a receipt for tax deduction purposes for any donated equipment.

If you need to dispose of any computer equipment that you do not want to donate or if you need to dispose of any other electronic equipment, we recommend that it be recycled rather than simply put out with the trash that ends up in a landfill.  Too much material that should have been properly recycled in the past has already wound up in landfills across America.


Each of the three counties that residents of The Villages live in have some type of ongoing recycling program, as well as many of the surrounding towns.  Please contact your local municipality, such as the Town of Lady Lake if you live in Lake County or your own county government offices to learn about specific recycling programs that may be available to you.
