GIVE YOUR EQUIPMENT TO OPEQ
Every year, thousands of still-functional pieces of IT equipment are discarded. OPEQ gives them a second life. By entrusting us with your equipment or supporting our mission financially, you directly contribute to reducing electronic waste, helping people develop skills toward employment, and connecting the communities that need it most.
GIVE YOUR IT EQUIPMENT
Your devices still have value. By giving them to OPEQ, you give them a second life: less e-waste, more access to technology for those who need it.
We accept: desktop and laptop computers, servers, tablets, smartphones, monitors, laser printers, projectors, keyboards and mice. Don’t forget to include cables and adapters, it makes a difference.
For Apple devices, please follow the instructions to unlink an Apple account from a device before handing them over.

Step 3. For a minimum of 60 pieces of equipment, we come to pick up the materials directly from you, free of charge. Have fewer than 60 items? Contact us at don@opeq.qc.ca to find the best solution.

YOUR DATA IS SAFE
Before redistributing any equipment, we completely wipe the contents of every hard drive in accordance with the standards of the Bureau de qualification des recycleurs (BQR) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). All your confidential information, logos, and corporate identifiers are securely deleted.
For added peace of mind, you may also wipe your hard drives before handing them over. Free software such as Kill Disk or dBan can help you do so.
