If you have unused but useful equipment you'd like to donate toward a worthy cause, the Nonprofit Recycling and Reuse Network is for you. This is a diverse and growing group of nonprofit professionals from around the world who want and need your gift. The exchange process is uniquely designed so you remain anonymous while choosing to give from those making direct requests for your equipment. When you offer to give, you are not obligated until you accept a request for your specific gift. Anything useful and unused may be put back into productivity through the nonprofit exchange network.
