All items are free to drop-off, except for televisions and computer monitors in which there is a $5 donation, and microwaves in which there is a $10 donation per item. Also, all personal data is guaranteed to be safely and securely destroyed, through the Habitat ReStore’s partnership with Vintage Tech Recyclers.

“Electronics recycling is a service that our community desperately needs, and we’ve been working toward a solution for this issue,” said Jen Voichick, Director, Habitat ReStore. “We are excited to launch this partnership with Vintage Tech Recyclers. They’ve partnered with manufacturers to fund the recycling cost for our ReStore. So we’ve found a solution through this partnership that is affordable for both our non-profit organization and for our customers.”

Karrie Gibson, Founder and President of Vintage Tech Recyclers, stated “We are very excited to partner with the Habitat ReStore to provide this responsible electronic recycling program. This will be a great solution for the residents in this community."
