Finding a place to donate an old printer can be challenging. Not all charities accept electronics, particularly larger items like printers. For those in Vancouver, where have you successfully donated your working printers?
I’ve heard that some schools and community centers may take them, but I’m curious about other non-profits or tech initiatives that might have specific needs. Any recommendations or guidelines you’ve come across for donations would be greatly appreciated. What has your experience been like?
I’ve donated a couple of old printers to local schools, and they were super grateful. I also found out that some libraries in Vancouver accept them for community programs. If you call ahead, they can let you know if they’re currently in need!
You might want to check out the Vancouver Public Library; they sometimes take donations of tech gear for educational programs. Also, there’s Electronic Recycling Association, which could have some options for you. Have you tried contacting local charities directly to see if they have specific programs?
