Computers & Electronics
Donating your computers and other tech equipment to Goodwill is safe and environmentally friendly. The ideal computer donation to Goodwill is an Intel Core 2 processor or better. Goodwill Industries of Greater Cleveland and East Central Ohio, Inc. takes the safety of our donors very seriously. We understand that data confidentiality is extremely important to donors. All hard drives received by Goodwill are wiped in accordance with the standards described in the NIST Special Publication 800-88 (PDF) which requires a minimum of one pass on a hard drive. If the drive is not able to be overwritten due to a problem with the drive (damaged sectors, damaged hardware, etc.), the drive is physically altered so that it cannot be read. If you have a question about donating computer equipment to Goodwill, please email donations@goodwillgoodskills.org, and a customer service representative will follow up with you.
Vehicles
Donating your vehicle to Goodwill is tax-deductible and directly supports our mission of empowering people on their journey to independence. Through our partnership with CARS, your old vehicle can jumpstart someone on a life-changing path. Learn more or call 866-699-5719.
