WE SIMPLIFY E-WASTE DISPOSAL TO SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY
Free e-waste pickup from any business.
We’ll pick up on your schedule at no cost. We do everything from hand-loading electronics straight from an office to picking up pallets from a dock.
We accept all types of electronics and e-waste.
In working condition or in pieces, we accept laptops, desktops, tablets, servers, switches, cords, monitors, battery backups, printers, speakers, mice, keyboards and more.
All devices are recorded upon delivery and an itemized receipt is provided.
When devices are received, an itemized list of all assets including make, model, and serial # is generated. This includes an inventory count of all peripherals and extra parts.
We do the cleaning.
During our initial inventory process, we remove all extra stickers and old asset tags, saving you time.
All drives are wiped and recorded.
All devices that we receive are wiped and recorded before entering our reuse, refurbish, triage system. Serial numbers of all drives including date of sanitation or destruction returned within 30 days of pickup.
What happens to your donation?
We refurbish and re-purpose as much technology as possible, and make it available to nonprofits and low-income households. Anything that can’t be reused, we recycle through one of our e-Stewards certified recyclers.

Our Impact
According to census data, Milwaukee, WI is the 13th worst connected city in America, with 23.20% of homes not having access to the internet. In addition to creating less toxic e-waste in landfills, your donation creates opportunities for low-income individuals to search and apply for jobs, access community resources, or even stay in contact with loved ones. We work dozens of area nonprofit organizations that help us connect our re-purposed technology to those in need such as:
Low-income families
Veterans
People with disabilities
Seniors
Nonprofit organizations
To date, Digital Bridge has distributed over 100 tons of e-waste and close to 1000 computers. In addition to distributing refurbished technology, Digital bridge also installs computer labs in the community and provides digital literacy classes through the Bridge Milwaukee Program.
