Program History
Since its inception in 2006, InTech has offered complimentary technology recycling for its clients. Soon we amassed a great quantity of computers: some non-function, but some functional with a little bit of help.
InTech owners Adam and Leia Shilobod saw a great impact on their own children with the exposure to computers, and a great need for computer technology in children’s programs. In 2011, Leia ran the first campaign to clients to upgrade to a new computer and we’d take their old computer, wipe it and prep it at our own cost, to go to a children’s program.
Although only 5 computers were gained for that campaign, the idea caught on with all our clients and every time a client gets rid of a usable computer, they look forward to knowing where their computer ends up. And whether that’s a local children’s program like a daycare, preschool, or YMCA, or a zero-landfill recycling center, they know their old technology will be put to good use.
