Repairing Lives with Free Tech Help — Support CompuRescue

CompuRescue is a nonprofit organization committed to closing the digital divide and reducing electronic waste. We provide completely free computer repairs and refurbished devices to underserved individuals and families—while rescuing thousands of discarded electronics from landfills.

By combining digital access, green technology, and community service, we are creating a scalable, sustainable solution to two global crises: the rise of e-waste and the lack of tech equity in low-income communities.

The Problem

Over 50 million tons of electronic waste are generated globally each year.

1 in 4 U.S. households still lack access to a functioning computer or affordable repair services.

Discarded electronics leach toxic chemicals into our soil and water, disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities.

Collects, repairs, and upcycles used computers and electronics.

Offers 100% free tech repairs to low-income individuals, students, seniors, and nonprofits.
