Why Donating Your IT Equipment Matters

Donating end of life tech is one of the quickest and most effective ways to support digital inclusion while staying compliant. Many organisations want to help, but lack the time, knowledge, or secure method to do it properly. Here are the most common challenges:

Hidden data creates serious risk

Old laptops and drives still contain sensitive information that must be wiped securely before reuse.

WEEE & GDPR Pressure

Devices cannot simply be passed on without proper documentation and certified data erasure.

Good equipment goes to waste

Many organisations store perfectly usable devices that could make a real difference in schools and communities.

CSR expectations are rising

Stakeholders expect measurable social impact, not vague promises or untracked donations.

Rapid IT handles every step securely and transparently, so your donation makes a positive difference without creating compliance or operational headaches.
