Why you can no longer donate your old laptop through us

Translation: Veronica Bielawski
The non-profit organisation «Wir lernen weiter» has become a victim of its own success. For this reason, we’re no longer accepting laptop donations in our Digitec shops. If you want to donate your laptop, you can still do so directly to «Wir lernen weiter».
Until recently, you could also donate your used notebook at Digitec and Galaxus stores. This is no longer the case; «Wir lernen weiter» has ended its collaboration with us. This isn’t due to a falling out. Rather, the non-profit has become a victim of its own success. «Companies are donating so many used business laptops to us that we can hardly keep up,» explains Tobias.
One of the reasons why companies value this option so much is because «Wir lernen weiter» wipes data in accordance with the DIN 66399 certification. In other words, donating old laptops is cheaper than recycling them. The organisation picks up larger donations with its own van – and for donations of up to 50 devices, it offers sealed shipping boxes with trackers.
Two become one
If you want to donate your old laptop, you can still do so directly to «Wir lernen weiter». You can mail it or hand it in directly at the organisation’s headquarters in Merenschwand in the canton of Aargau.
