CFS+ is the government of Canada’s first choice for retiring technology.
BC Technology for Learning Society is a registered charity licensed to operate ISED’s Computers for Schools Plus program. CFS+ remains the preferred means of dealing with surplus electronic materials. To arrange a pick-up please email DonorRelations@ReuseTechBC.ca and fill out the Surplus Certification Report.
About
The federal Policy on Green Procurement integrates environmental performance considerations into procurement activities, from planning and buying, to use and maintenance to disposal. The 2010 federal electronic waste strategy was developed to ensure electronic waste is disposed of properly. The strategy emphasizes reuse first, followed by environmentally sound and secure recycling.
Treasury Board Directive on the Disposal of Surplus Materiel states: (4.1) Departments must offer right of first refusal of all surplus personal computers, laptops, servers, monitors, keyboards, mice, printers, modems, hubs, network cards, hard drives, etc., to the Computers for Schools Program. It maintains a Materials Management community that supports and reinforces the "first right of refusal" granted to CFS.
We appreciate the support and funding from the Government of Canada - Merci beaucoup!
