For businesses
Free, certified, local. Better than a trade-in.
A trade-in, a reseller or paid IT disposal takes your laptops and the story ends. With Relay it keeps going, here in Toronto, and you can see it.
Free.
No disposal fee and no contract. The Community tier costs nothing, for good.
Certified data wipe.
Staff verify every wipe. You get a numbered certificate with a public verification link.
Zero hassle.
One five-minute form. Pick a week the bench has room for, then drop off, or we pick up.
A real local story.
Each laptop's Device Passport and your impact dashboard show who it helps in Toronto.
What every Reuse Partner gets
A certificate for every batch. A dashboard of who it helps.
- Numbered data-destruction certificate, listing every device
- Every device tracked from drop-off to its next owner
- An impact dashboard and a Device Passport for each laptop

Good to know
Free Geek Toronto is an independent non-profit. Free Geek locations in other cities run separately, so products and prices differ. Relay introduces the Reuse Partnership as a new way for businesses to work with Free Geek Toronto. Our computers aren't free because refurbishing, data security and fair wages cost money. Here's exactly how pricing works.
