We all have an old phone or two that we don't know what to do with so, EGO Technology would like to provide the chance for them to be reused/recycled for free. Once they get to EGO Technology they will be fully data-wiped and either refurbished (if in working order) or have resources extracted from them to be correctly recycled. All proceeds from this campaign will be donated to GreenPeace to help tackle climate change and save our planet.
We will also be raising awareness via social media about recycling mobile phones and how they can participate in this campaign for #ewasteday.

Description: Green Machine Computers are environmentally conscious IT specialists. Our aim is to divert all electronics away from landfill and fix them so they can be used again by people in need. Last year we donated over 500 devices to schoolchildren who were struggling to study at home during the Coronavirus lockdowns.

Our technicians build IT systems from the good quality parts that have been tested, we then donate the refurbished tech to schools/charities, or a small percentage gets sold on at a fraction of the cost compared to new models. Nothing goes to landfill!

In addition to this, we provide education to a multitude of audiences (ex-military veterans, individuals with learning difficulties, and students on work experience). We use the recycling process to teach people basic technical skills which help them to get into the workplace.
