Comprenew
In the United States, approximately 150,000 computers are disposed of every day. At the same time, an estimated 48 million people in the U.S. do not have access to a home computer. Comprenew, a nonprofit electronics refurbisher and recycler, is working with GRPS to close the digital divide by giving your retired electronic devices new life. GRPS parents who have graduated from our basic skills computer class can purchase a refurbished computer from Comprenew for just $50.00. Learn more at www.comprenew.org.
