Goodwill program puts computers back to work, creates jobs

DAYTON — A program aimed at putting used computers back into use locally has diverted more than 600,000 pounds of computers and equipment from local landfills.

The program, a partnership between Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley and Dell ReConnect, allows consumers to drop off any brand of used computers and accessories at one of the 28 Goodwill stores to be recycled, a news release states.

Goodwill’s 28 local stores have been involved in the program since December 2009. The effort has resulted in the creation of eight jobs with more jobs planned, a news release states.
