A key part of ReliaTech’s program is refurbishing computers. These machines, which are put through a rigorous 18-step process, are then distributed to low-income individual, schoolchildren, churches, schools, senior centers and other institutions in our community for re-use. We rely on local individuals and companies to help us with this program by donating their out-of-service computers and computer-related equipment.

ReliaTech is an approved collector of electronic waste under the SB20 regulations of the State of California. That means we handle any e-waste left with us properly according to the tae’s laws and regulations. We accept any sort of e-waste. What can be reused is refurbished or repaired and placed back in service. The rest is recycled by state-approved recyclers.
