The Plug

 
Welcome to The Plug!
Technology plays a crucial role in many aspects of our society, but the convenience comes at a cost that the less fortunate might not be able to afford.
// How you can help

The Process

You donate

your old/broken device to us.

We fix

the device at our own cost

We deliver

the device to someone who needs it!

Devices that we cannot fix will be salvaged for usable parts and sent out to be recycled/upcycled. By giving your devices new life and redistributing them to those in need, we also hope to help reduce electronic waste, which is increasing year after year.

Rest assured, the donation process is simple and hassle-free. We guarantee:

⇒ All your personal data will be wiped clean for your privacy and protection.

⇒ Free pick up within designated locations. We also encourage drop-offs, if you’re willing!

⇒ Donated devices are fixed to optimal condition before passing it on to a person in need.

You may also sponsor replacement parts that are required to fix the donated devices– go through our FAQs for more information.

Thank you for helping us help others!
