Goodwill Houston Partners with CompuCycle to Offer Responsible Electronics Recycling

Jan 12, 2026 | News Press

HOUSTON, TX – January 12, 2025 – Goodwill Houston has partnered with CompuCycle to provide Houstonians with a convenient, responsible way to donate and recycle household electronics, supporting career pathway programs while advancing environmental sustainability.

Through this partnership, residents can drop off laptops, desktops, tablets, monitors, small printers, and other household electronics at Goodwill Houston donation centers. Electronics suitable for resale will help fund Goodwill’s career pathway training and education programs. Items that cannot be resold will be transported to CompuCycle’s certified Houston facility for secure, in-house recycling.

CompuCycle processes all materials at its 130,000-square-foot, dual-certified Houston facility, maintaining full oversight of the recycling process. The company holds both R2 and e-Stewards certifications and is Houston’s first woman-owned certified electronics recycler.

“Goodwill Houston is committed to creating opportunities that strengthen our community while protecting the environment. Partnering with CompuCycle allows us to responsibly recycle electronics, keeping millions of pounds of harmful materials out of landfills.” said Adel Karam, Chief Operating Officer. Together, we’re driving environmental responsibility and economic opportunity for our community.

The partnership reinforces both organizations’ shared commitment to local impact—keeping reusable items in the community and ensuring all other materials are recycled to the highest environmental standards.
