Welcome to Tech Toss

From E-Waste to Education

Investing in opportunity, education, and a future where digital access is available to everyone.

Rescue. Refurbish. Reuse.

Tech Toss is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that rescues donated technology that would otherwise end up in a landfill to be refurbished and redistributed back into the community through educational workshops, low-cost resale programs, and more.

Increasing Access to High-Quality Electronics

Our partnerships with Hollywood film and entertainment studios allow us to collect professional-quality computers, production gear, and video equipment to power our multimedia classroom and job training programs. We also receive valuable contributions from local donation drives and community drop-off events.

Giving Discarded Technology a Second Life

The equipment we refurbish gets redistributed back into the community in several ways. Our sell-back program allows community members to purchase equipment at a low cost, while our skills-building workshops— led by industry professionals— allow individuals the opportunity to grow and learn.

Supporting the Community Through Technology

Through partnerships with local schools and nonprofits, we expand our impact by bringing technology directly to the community. Whether it’s setting up digital literacy labs or hosting interactive events for students, our programs provide spaces where everyone can explore, create, and connect.

Community Impact

Real change starts locally. At Tech Toss we address digital inequality, environmental waste, and economic barriers by repurposing technology for those who need it most. Every device we rescue becomes a tool for learning, creativity, and opportunity.

We supported this student event hosted by Chico State’s Computer Animation and Game Development department by providing refurbished classic gaming systems and technical setup.
Twenty refurbished multimedia computers were built and supplied for The Little Red Hen’s new digital literacy lab, expanding access to technology education and creative learning opportunities for local youth and adults with developmental disabilities.
Vintage computers and arcade consoles were restored and transformed into interactive educational art pieces for 8-Bit August, an exhibit celebrating the golden age of pixel-based gaming and local creative talent.
Tech Toss donated a refurbished multimedia PC and a large-display television to St. John’s Episcopal Church, enhancing their conference hall for workshops, visiting aid organizations, and disaster-relief training programs that rely on reliable presentation technology.
