Stop!

Do not throw that old computer away.
Give your used computers and computer equipment to the Phoenix Project of the Maryland State Department of Education. This project returns refurbished computer equipment to schools, and the community.

Here is the opportunity for your school or community organization to receive refurbished computer equipment. Give continued life to equipment that can be put to good use to meet your school or community project goals.

There is a small charge of $20.00 per computer to community groups, schools or individuals receiving equipment through our program.

The Phoenix Project is a program of MSDE in partnership with:

"Every learner has access to and use technology in classrooms and schools. Technology supports achievement, enabling learners to be independent, competent and creative thinkers, as well as effective communicators and problem-solvers."
