Recycle Your Used Tech Devices While Benefitting Digital Equity!
Bring your old laptops, cell phones, tablets, and other digital devices to be reused or recycled! Madison-based nonprofit DANEnet is teaming up with Cascade Asset Management to collect residential digital devices to be securely wiped then recycled or refurbished for distribution to low-income households without computers. It’s good for our community AND good for the planet!

By recycling tech devices, we help create a healthier planet for ourselves and future generations. Conserving natural resources is essential: recycling minimizes the need to extract timber, water, and minerals for new products. Additionally, our partners at Cascade Asset Management transform these e-cycling events into fundraisers for DANEnet! All collected devices that can be resold are utilized to generate funds for DANEnet programming.
