There is now a free, easy, and environmentally responsible way to get rid of your old computer. Simply drop it off at any Goodwill store or donation center throughout the state of Michigan.

Goodwill Industries and Dell, Inc. have partnered to create RECONNECT Michigan a statewide computer recycling and reuse program. Older, obsolete computers are taken apart (or "demanufactured") by Goodwill workers. The parts are then sorted and recycled responsibly. Newer, working computers are refurbished and resold with the proceeds funneling back into workers' wages.

Tax Deductions
If you itemize deductions
on your federal tax return,
you are entitled to claim a
charitable deduction for
your Goodwill donations.

Donation Receipt
Save time and fill out your receipt ahead of time. Take it, along with your donations, to the nearest Goodwill Donation Center and ask for the Goodwill attendant’s signature.

Estimated Values Guide
Under U.S. tax law, the donor must determine the value of his/her material donations to Goodwill. The above guide can help you determine the “fair market value” of your donation.

NOTE: The U.S. Treasury Department recently passed The Pension Protection Act of 2006 whereby “no deduction is allowed for charitable contribution of clothing and household items if such items are not in good used condition or better.”
