Many of the computers for which they find new homes come from businesses but they also take computers and computer accessories from individuals.

The Denver location is at 6035 E. 38th Ave. They take drop-off’s Monday through Friday 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you work for a business that’s upgrading their computers, have your IT department reach out to PC’s for people and they’ll schedule a free pick-up.
