Reconnect serves people throughout Northwest Ohio by leveraging Dell’s resources and global recycling experience and the donation and retail infrastructure of Goodwill. The program helps protect the environment through responsible recycling or reuse of computer equipment and provides residents a convenient way to support Goodwill Industries of Northwest Ohio.
