Raynard's Success Story

Raynard was terrified. He was only months away from completing a 33-year prison sentence for armed robbery, but he knew how difficult it would be to fit back into society and find a job. He heard about Project Re-entry from other guys in his unit. After attending a few sessions, Raynard was impressed with the people, the training offered and the services available to him after release. Today, Raynard is working as a cook and making up for lost time with this wife and children. “I’m thankful for Goodwill. These people were my support system when I needed encouragement.”

COMPUTER RECYCLING

Did you know?

Electronic waste is the world's fastest growing waste problem.
Each year over 220 million tons of old computers make their way into US landfills.
250 million computers will become obsolete in the next 5 years.
Computers and related equipment can contain hazardous materials unwanted in our landfills.

It's about working together.

Goodwill and Dell have partnered to create RECONNECT, a comprehensive electronics recovery, reuse and environmentally responsible recycling opportunity for consumers.

It's easy and it's free.

RECONNECT offers free drop-off recycling and reuse options. Simply bring in your donation to any participating Goodwill store or donation center.

Saving the environment.

We at Goodwill are committed to making sure that all computers and related electronics that have reached the end of their useful life are recycled in an environmentally friendly manner, thus preventing hazardous materials from reaching our landfills.

It's not just the environment that benefits.

Proceeds from the resale value of donations support Goodwill's mission to help people find jobs and become more self-sufficient.

It's a tax deduction.
