Alberta Computers for Schools helps to ensure all Albertans have equity of access to technology in today’s digital world.

We also provide Internships for Alberta’s youth and help reduce the environmental footprint of governments and industry by refurbishing and reusing old technology.

We take your data security very seriously - even if someone says they've deleted all the data on their hard drives, we'll do it again!
Our shops provide a systematic deletion of all digital data, complying with the highest confidentiality standards. We use a US Department of Defense DoD 5220.22-M type of algorithm, which includes 3 overwrites.
Following this step, a certificate of data sanitization can be issued for each HDD. Once cleaned of all digital data, each hard drive is sorted to determine if it qualifies for refurbishing.
At no time do hard drives pass through our custody without either being sanitized or destroyed through a secure shredding process by our registered recycler.
