When Nonprofit Technology Resources closed up shop in 2015 it left a void in Philly.

The Spring Garden-based nonprofit, which had been taking in donated computers, fixed them up and giving them to other nonprofits, had been the go-to since 1998 for donating still-usable gear. In 2014, according to a report published by the org, 1,100 desktops and laptops were fixed and donated to churches, schools and individuals in need.

Since the nonprofit shuttered, a question from the community has frequently made its way onto the Technical.ly newsroom: Now that NTR shut down, what can I do with this old-but-still-working computer?

Well, as it turns out, the city still has plenty of options for getting your old electronic gear out of the closet and into the hands of someone who needs it. Here’s a brief list of Philly spots that will gladly take that old laptop.

Drexel University’s TechServ student group

The student organization, deeply rooted in Drexel’s digital hallways, aims to reduce the digital gap by repairing computers, donating them to nonprofits and spreading the word of digital literacy.

How to donate: Email techserv@drexel.edu with a description of the equipment, the quantities and a preferred pickup/drop off time.

Coded by Kids

The nonprofit that seeks to teach your school-age kids how to code could use laptops to complement its tech education programs.

Philly AIDS Thrift

The consignment shop will gladly take in your equipment, process it and resell it to raise funds for local organizations involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS. There’s staff on site that can process the equipment and wipe the drives before reselling.
