Frome Town CouncilTech amnestyDate/time: Sunday 2 February 10am to 1pm Location: Frome Town Hall Car Park Frome Town Council is hosting a tech amnesty with Somerset-based charity Donate IT. Donate IT collect, refurbish and redistribute phones, laptops, tablets and other digital devices to people who need them. Anyone with devices to donate can bring them to the drop-off point in the town hall car park to hand to the team. Devices are securely wiped of all data using industry-standard software. Any devices that cannot be reused are disposed of responsibly within the UK. 70% of global toxic waste is linked to discarded tech in landfill, and the precious metals inside devices, such as copper and cobalt, are much more intensive and difficult to mine than they are to recycle. Can't make it? Devices can also be dropped off to Frome Town Hall throughout the year. To find out more about Donate IT and how to get digital support, or to obtain a refurbished device, visit Donate IT. |
