Seattle Public Libraries has partnered with InterConnection for the event, scheduled for March 19. InterConnection is a certified Microsoft Refurbisher that will complete a data destruction process on each device. The organization then refurbishes each item to be distributed to underserved communities.

The Ballard Library and InterConnection will accept the following items:

  • Desktop computers
  • Laptops
  • Smartphones
  • Servers
  • Hard drives
  • Cables and accessories

The device dropoff event will be Sunday, March 19 from 12 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.
