January: The Drawer of Forgotten Tech

Christmas is over, you've got a shiny new laptop or phone, and the old one is already being forgotten. Sound familiar? You're not alone — millions of perfectly usable devices get shoved in drawers every January.

Your Options

  • Option 1: Leave it in a drawer for 3 years. Eventually throw it away. Waste of a device, potential data risk. 👎
  • Option 2: Sell it. Fair enough, but hassle. Photos, listings, lowballers, posting. 😤
  • Option 3: Donate it to us. Free pickup, certified data wipe, someone who needs it gets it. Zero hassle. 🎉

The Best Time to Donate Is Now

The longer you leave it, the less valuable the device becomes. And the longer someone goes without a computer who desperately needs one. January is the perfect time to donate — ride the New Year energy and actually do something good with that post-Christmas clear out.
