Recycling your USB drive is very easy. Simply complete the following three steps:
Step 1: Collect all eligible flash drives [Sugar requires 1GB or larger]
Step 2: Send the USB drives to RecycleUSB
USB sticks are durable devices, however, they do require some amount of packaging during transit. Please use some level of packaging for the shipment.
Step 3: Include a note about your company along with the donated drives. In your note, give a description of what your business does and we’ll post about it with a link to your site. We get thousands of visitors each month, so spread the word, let the world know you’ve done something good.
If you would like to donate a large number of USB sticks [25+ units] please contact Recycle USB for tax deduction details.
If you would like to purchase flash drives and donate them to the cause, please contact RecycleUSB for more details.
NOTE: Your tax deductible donation will be processed by Software Freedom Conservancy. See our About page for more details.

Send your USB to school.
Each donated drive is loaded with Sugar, making it Sugar on a Stick. Sugar is a standalone computer operating system which runs off a USB flash drive. Sugar is developed to provide children a free portable and interactive learning environment in a self contained thumb drive.
Sending your USB stick to a recycle center holds far less Good Will then sending your USB stick to a child wanting to learn.
Here is how the USB journey begins:
Once Sugar Labs receives your donated drive, it is then deployed to any number of possible locations around the world. Your generous donation could go to a child in Peru, or South Africa or Thailand! Your flash drive will become a portable computer for a very lucky child.
This Good Will act of sending in your USB stick is far greater than recycling old components of a flash drive for a couple pennies in return
