Cash donations are also greatly appreciated to keep our programmes running and the office lights on.

If you are an organisation and would like to contribute to our stockpile, kindly contact partnerships@engineeringgood.org. This way, EG can distribute these enterprise-grade laptops to our end-users. Such laptops tend to be more durable and more readily serviceable by EG and the community, ensuring that decommissioned devices go the distance.

The short: Prepare an asset list and email contactus@engineeringgood.org, then drop your laptops and chargers at our office during weekdays (10am – 6pm).

The long: Kindly prepare an asset list containing the information such as laptop brand, model, and specs. We seek your understanding to pack the laptops and chargers into cardboard boxes and deliver them to us as we do not have the resources to arrange delivery. 

Apologies, we do not have the space to accumulate things for repair. As such, we recommend the following:

1. Dispose responsibly at e-waste sites. Refer to NEA for more info.
2. DIY repair can be an option! The internet is full of resources and a really great teacher.
3. List your device on online platforms/social media. Someone might want it!

Engineering Good does not usually distribute refurbished laptops directly to individuals. Instead, we work through our network of community partners. Here are some organisations that you can approach: https://www.msf.gov.sg/our-services/directories#familytab.

Alternatively, do contact your family service centre or social service office to write to us. We will work with them and get the laptops to you.

We have a simple two-step process!

1. Read our Notice for Community Partners. 
2. Send us the signed Waiver form and Request table to request4laptops@engineeringgood.org.

We are really honoured and grateful for any and all donations. Alas, we do not have the space to hoard host these items. 

Rather than send them to us, do check out Pass-It-On and bless others with your preloved items! 

If you need to dispose them, do drop your e-waste at sites listed under NEA. Above all, we ask that you consider the principle of dignity and remember that not all thrash is treasure.

Do reach out to our friends at SG Bono!
