The Computer Technologies for Schools
project is a national project aimed at providing surplus Information and Communications Technology (ICT) equipment to government and non-government schools around Australia. The project sources ICT equipment from the public and private sector and arranges distribution to schools.
The Computer Technologies for Schools project began as part of the Prime Minister’s “Investing for Growth” policy statement in 1997. In partnership with the Ministerial Council for Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs (MCEETYA), this Australian Government project has steadily expanded its operations.
Since it began, the Computer Technologies for Schools project has delivered over 180,000 pieces of surplus ICT equipment to schools around Australia worth many millions of dollars.
Companies and organisations looking to recycle their current working hardware may be interested in this “green ICT” opportunity.
The equipment donated to the project has included printers, scanners, modems, photocopiers, network equipment, monitors, servers and personal computers.

It is good to read about equipment being reused instead of being discarded as landfill. We have had some success recycling some of our old and broken equipment by donating it the local ComputerBank http://www.computerbank.org.au
Thank you for this post :-)
