Technology Access Across the United States and Africa.
Give technology a second life.Empower young futures.
JustUsedTech collects, refurbishes, and redistributes technology to expand digital access for underserved students, especially young people and aspiring professionals. By connecting responsible e-waste management with digital inclusion, education, and youth empowerment, we turn retired technology into opportunities for learning, creativity, and career development.
Through our US recovery operations and community-based programmes in Nigeria and expanding to other countries such as Kenya and Ghana through our partners, we connect usable technology with the people and communities who need it most.

Historical E-Waste Collection Performance (2017–2026)
See all statisticsFrom its establishment in 2017 through October 2026, JustUsedTech is working toward documenting a cumulative total of 200,000 pounds of electronic waste collected through its e-waste recovery and collection activities.
Collection volumes are expected to vary from year to year in response to operational capacity, collection partnerships, institutional participation, and wider economic conditions. Collection activity during 2020 and 2021 was particularly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted normal business operations, movement, institutional activities, and collection logistics.
The proposed annual breakdown reflects lower collection volumes during the pandemic period, followed by a gradual recovery and subsequent growth as collection activities and partnerships expanded. These annual estimates should be reconciled against available collection registers, partner reports, and weight records before being adopted as official historical results. Justusedtech will use the consolidated figures to strengthen its environmental impact reporting, improve year-on-year performance monitoring, and document the contribution of e-waste recovery to its circular technology and digital inclusion programmes.
One circular technology model. 6 Active Projects.
Multiple pathways to impact.
JustUsedTech connects device collection and refurbishment with programmes that promote digital inclusion, environmental awareness, education, mentorship, and youth empowerment.
From school-based e-waste awareness sessions to refurbished device distribution and community partnerships, our programmes aim to extend the useful life of technology while creating opportunities for underserved communities.
Each programme has its own objectives, target beneficiaries, activities, and impact measures. Together, they connect responsible technology recovery with meaningful social outcomes.
Where devices go
One warehouse in Missouri. Three countries on the other end.
Recovery and refurbishment happen in St. Louis, Missouri. From there, working laptops travel to communities in Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya.
