Y-Tech Services

Corporate Partners
Businesses in Wisconsin are required to responsibly recycle their used computers. Corporations can donate their used equipment to Y-Tech with the understanding that the company will pay for the responsible disposition of any equipment that cannot be reused. Y-Tech is exploring the feasibility of providing full service PC recycling for our corporate partners.

Y-Tech will gladly accept funding support from any corporation or corporate foundation as a way to offset our ongoing costs associated with redirecting used computers to underserved communities.

Non-Profit Organizations
Non-profit organizations can purchase reliable used computers from Y-Tech at a nominal cost of about $100 per computer system, depending upon the sysem configuration). Y-Tech will work with area non-profits to help identify funding for computer purchases.

Reliable used computers can be utilized in a variety of ways such as:

  • Creating new Technology Centers
  • Providing reliable used PCs to qualified constituents
  • Providing reliable used PCs for non-profit operations
