Technology For People Group Inc.
Provides a Cost-Effective
Safe Solution for PC disposal
Donate your old PCs and help
make technology affordable for others.
When you upgrade your technology
systems, how do you dispose of the surplus PCs that are no longer needed by
your organization? They might not be of use to you, but they can still hold value
for others.
Because
used PCs often contain sensitive corporate data, you may be uncomfortable when
decommissioning them. Yet throwing away reusable PCs contributes to waste and
prevents them from being used by new owners. A way to solve these issues is to
contact , a Community Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher (Community MAR).
We will
properly decommission your PCs by following stringent Canadian
data-wiping standards. Then we will refurbish the PCs so instead of ending up
in a landfill, these viable PCs will be supplied to disadvantaged communities
that need access to the benefits of technology that they cannot currently
afford.
We provide
you with benefits.
That can
help you:
Protect corporate data.
Disposing of PCs through a Community MAR helps to
protect your valuable business data. Because we are required to meet
government standards for data removal, you can feel safer knowing that your
data has been removed.
Demonstrate
community leadership through PC disposal via refurbishment.
You are helping to supply PCs that will be
refurbished and provided to those who need them most�schools, disadvantaged
individuals and groups, and non-profit organizations. This is an ideal way to
show support by giving back to those in need.
Provide a
viable solution to decrease waste.
You are helping to advocate reuse and decrease waste
by keeping your old, but usable, PCs out of landfills, reducing waste and
environmental impact.
What is
the Community MAR program?
Microsoft
created the Community Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher (Community MAR) program
to increase the number of usable PCs available to non-profits, schools, and
low-income families across the globe. To accomplish this, organizations supply
refurbishers with decommissioned PCs that may otherwise have been destined for
a landfill. These PCs are refurbished by Community MARs and then preinstalled
with genuine Microsoft software and made available to educational institutions,
non-profit organizations, and disadvantaged individuals. To date, there are
over 1,000 Community MARs in more than 60 countries around the world.
To ensure
your used PCs are properly decommissioned, all Community MARs go through a
thorough application process and Microsoft reviews and confirms the validity of
each application before granting Community MAR status.
In order
to maintain this status, Microsoft:
Requires
that Community MARs submit regular reports about the computers they supply
through the program and that they undergo audits.
Investigates
any reports of license infringement.
Changing
lives around the world.

MARs worldwide are impacting the lives of thousands of deserving people:
