  • Power: Devices must power on. Please include cables if available.
  • Data Security: When a donated device is prepared for reuse, the hard drive is automatically erased as part of the Chrome OS installation process. If a device cannot be reused, it is passed to Voluntary Action Harrow, where it will either be securely wiped and reused, or responsibly recycled for parts.
  • Data Security: Please remove any personal sign-ins such as iCloud or Google accounts before donating..
