Hillsborough County Tax Collector Nancy C. Millan’s office has donated computer workstations for new homeowners through Habitat for Humanity.
As part of the Hillsborough tax collector’s community outreach initiatives, Millan’s office has established a process to donate surplus obsolete equipment to nonprofit community partners aligning with the tax collector’s office mission and core values, according to a news release.
Last year, the office donated 200 surplus computer hard drives and computers to Computer Mentors of Tampa. This year, the office’s surplus included 25 all-in-one workstations. The tax collector worked with eSmart Recycling to refurbish the workstations to be made available for Habitat for Humanity.
eSmart Recycling has created a network of collection points and logistics partners to recycle their computers following the best industry standards, saving electronics from going to the landfill and using the proceeds to fund technology labs for kids worldwide who don’t have access to computers.
“The timing of this incredible donation was perfect! We were looking for a way to create sustainable homes scheduled to be built by Habitat for Humanity to come with a refurbished computer for the new families,” said Tony Selvaggio, CEO of eSmart Recycling, in the release.
“Thanks to the tax collector’s donation, we can now commit to 10 homes,” said Selvaggio.
