TechForAll Foundation accepts donated laptops, PCs, tablets and networking equipment from UK businesses. Every device is securely wiped and redirected into digital skills training for people who need it most.
The UK generates approximately 1.65 million tonnes of electronic waste every year, making it the second-largest producer of e-waste per capita in Europe at 24.5 kg per person annually (UN Global E-waste Monitor 2024). Despite this, the UK's official e-waste recycling rate stands at just 31%, meaning more than two-thirds of discarded electronics do not pass through responsible disposal channels. Material Focus estimates that 20.7 million unused but working tech items, worth a potential £5.63 billion, are currently sitting unused in UK homes alone.
Every year, thousands of businesses refresh their IT fleets, leaving behind working laptops, desktops, tablets and peripherals with nowhere to go. Landfill is costly, irresponsible, and increasingly non-compliant with UK waste regulations.
TechForAll Foundation offers a better route. Through our partner, every device is securely wiped to HMG IS5 and ISO/IEC 27040 standards before being redirected into digital skills training programmes for young people in The Gambia and migrants and refugees in the UK.
The result: zero e-waste from your business, full data security, and a documented social value return you can include in your annual CSR report.

Every device we receive is passed to our partner, who processes it through a rigorous data erasure protocol to HMG IS5 and ISO/IEC 27040 standards before it enters our training programme. Corporate data security is handled with the same rigour and accountability as your own IT team.
The data erasure, certified asset processing and responsible disposal on this programme are carried out by TechForAll Foundation's specialist partner. They perform all data wiping to HMG IS5 and ISO/IEC 27040 standards, ensuring every donated device is handled to the highest levels of data security and environmental compliance before it reaches our training programmes.
Donating IT equipment through TechForAll Foundation is one of the most direct ways a UK business can demonstrate social value through its technology estate. We provide the documentation, impact reporting and recognition to support your CSR commitments.
Every donation translates directly into learner hours, digital skills gained, and community benefit. We provide named impact reporting suitable for your annual CSR or sustainability report.
Equipment reuse significantly reduces carbon cost compared to new manufacturing. Include our partnership in your Scope 3 emissions reduction and circular economy commitments.
We accept a wide range of business-grade hardware from corporate refreshes, office clearances, and IT asset disposals.
Equipment should be less than 8 years old and in working condition, or repairable. Not sure if yours qualifies? Submit a brief description and we will advise.
Complete our short intake form below with your company name, asset breakdown, quantity, and any data destruction requirements.
Our team reviews your submission and contacts you within two working days to confirm eligibility and arrange collection or drop-off.
All devices are passed to our partner, who processes them through a certified data sanitisation workflow to HMG IS5 and ISO/IEC 27040 standards. Certificates of erasure are issued on request.
You receive a formal donation receipt and, where applicable, a named impact report showing how your equipment was deployed in our training programmes.
Donated devices go directly into hands-on training sessions where learners build real digital skills.
When a business donates its surplus IT equipment through TechForAll Foundation, that device does not go to landfill. It is securely wiped, checked, and deployed into a training programme where a real person builds real skills on it.
Every donated device represents hours of learning, confidence built, and a step closer to employment. Companies that donate become part of that journey.
