What we can offer other members and organizations:

Equipment or Materials

The Share-IT program collects obsolete/discarded/unused computers and peripherals from household and business storages to distribute the reusable equipments to disadvantaged families, special needs children and newcomers in need . Unusable equipments and components are recycled in an environmentally safe way ensuring 100% diversion from landfills. By making one's waste another's resource, the Share-IT program helps strengthen resource conservation and community sustainability. As its broader goal, the program bridges the digital divide between the information rich and information poor in our society, and allow all sectors of our community to have equal access to the benefits of the Information Age.

The Share IT program showcases a proven community-based model that can be replicated in communities across Canada and around the world to address the growing environmental and health impacts from toxic electronic waste. By fostering reuse over recycling the program prevents the generation of electronic waste in the first place, empowers families to build their lives, while protecting the environment.
