What if computer equipment needs repair or upgrading?
The Executive Order encourages the use of nonprofit computer reuse or recycling programs to repair and upgrade computers. However, title to the computer equipment must pass from an agency to a school or education nonprofit organization. Title to the computer equipment may not be transferred to computer reuse or recycling programs. Some recyclers refurbish computers themselves; others teach students how to refurbish them for use in their own school districts. Many recyclers can also assist with teacher training, mentoring, and computer maintenance.
