In an effort to tackle the growing challenge of electronic waste while creating positive community impact, Goodwill Houston has partnered with CompuCycle, a certified Houston-based electronics recycler, to launch an easy, responsible electronics recycling initiative for the Greater Houston area.
Through this collaboration, residents can now drop off old laptops, desktops, monitors, tablets, small printers, and other household electronics at select Goodwill Houston donation centers. Items that still function will be resold to support Goodwill’s nonprofit mission—funding job training, career development, and educational programs for individuals facing barriers to employment. Electronics that can’t be resold are sent to CompuCycle’s state-of-the-art Houston facility, where they are responsibly recycled under rigorous environmental and data security standards.
“This partnership represents the best of what local collaboration can achieve,” said Kelly Adels Hess, CEO of CompuCycle. “Together with Goodwill, we’re creating a simple pathway for Houstonians to make a positive impact—whether that’s funding job training programs or ensuring their old electronics are processed responsibly right here in Houston.”
