Partnerships & Attestations
ReuseTechBC works with a variety of organizations and programs.
Our Partnerships
We would not be able to do the great things that we do without the support of our wonderful partners!
CFSC-OPEC
CFSC is a national non-profit organization established in 2005, supporting the Computers for Success Program and the network of organizations that help to deliver it across Canada. CFSC-OPEC’s hub of services to the CFS program includes marketing and communications, partnership development, project management, and strategic planning.
Coquitlam Public Library
Since 2024, we have partnered with Coquitlam Public Library to deliver Computer 101, a workshop delivered twice per year at the library for patrons learning to use a computer for the first time. All patrons leave with a low-cost refurbished computer. This partnership has been valuable for developing digital literacy in BC.
TELUS
TELUS is one of the nation's largest telecommunications companies (and one of our top donors!), and we partnered in 2016 for their Internet for Good initiative. TELUS found that more than half of all Canadian families with incomes under $30,000 are without Internet connectivity, and the 3 barriers are price, hardware, and education. TELUS tackled the price issue by providing internet for $9.95 a month, and we tackled the hardware issue by offering our refurbished computers at a discounted rate. This initiative continues to help BC families get connected!
YVR Airport
Our unique partnership with YVR Airport takes sustainability practices to the next level! Technology items from the airport Lost & Found come to us if they are not reclaimed within 3 months. Once delivered to our workshop, our first step is reunification. If we can get the devices back to their original owner, we will do that! Anything left over will be redistributed to those in need or responsibly recycled.
Can your organization complement ours? We are always open to new ideas!
Please contact us if you think we can do great things together.
Our Attestations
Our certifications ensure that we are doing things right, whether it be data security, software deployment, or environmental responsibility.

We are proud to qualify for this comprehensive high level of standards.

RCBC
We are proud members of the Recycling Council of British Columbia. RCBC refers people to us when their technology is still good enough to be reused. RCBC is Canada's longest-serving recycling council, working to prevent and reduce the use of resources before they ever need to be recycled. Their hotline and app help people find the right places to recycle their things.
