All non-usable components are properly disposed of using recycling processes that meet or exceed environmental standards and adhere to TechTurn's strict no-landfill policy.
Additionally, Goodwill will also accept the donation of Motion's complete line of tablet PCs and peripherals. With more than 2,000 locations throughout the U.S., Goodwill offers a convenient method of donating used Motion products. For more information read Goodwill's Tips for Donating a Computer.
