We give technology a second run and the people who restore it a fair chance.
Repowered (fka Tech Dump & Tech Discounts), an electronics recycler and refurbisher, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and social enterprise based in the Twin Cities. Since we opened our doors in 2011, our team has processed over 40 million pounds of e-waste.
Repowered leverages the business of electronic recycling to offer meaningful employment to formerly incarcerated adults and those experiencing barriers to employment. Every dollar raised ensures that Repowered is more than an employer. Your gifts ensure that Repowered can offer essential workforce readiness programming and career navigation services.
Give generously today to ensure that hard working individuals in the Twin Cities are defined by their future rather than their past.
Thank you for your support.
