I want a PC please
Just dowload and fill in the Application Form (in MS Word format) and email or send to:
ACS PC Recyclers Program, C/- PO BOX 333, FULLARTON SA 5063.
Please ring to discuss the application and arrange a pickup date.
To be eligible to receive a PC and Microsoft software from the ACS PC Recycling Group through the MRR program an applicant must be one or other of the following:
- a holder of a current Health Care Card, Aged Pension Card, Disability Card
- have some other form of documentation relating to low-income or disadvantage
- a charity or a non-profit organisation
- an infant, primary or secondary school registered in a State or Territory of Australia by the relevant authority
- a TAFE college
The machines we can supply have mostly been donated by companies because they are not suitable to run the latest software or with the latest devices. This means the machine we can give you will be at least 4 years old and will have the sorts of facilities found in business machines of that vintage. If you need a computer capable of running the latest games we are not likely to be able to help you.
We introduced a charge for the computers we refurbish to help with the ongoing cost of providing this volunteer based service.
The current costs, as at July 2012, for a desktop or tower computer range from $80 to $180. We are now stocking mostly pentium IV laptops but do sometimes have more modern ones. There are various option packs for both laptops and desktops/towers including DVD burners, Skype headsets etc when available, details are on the application form. In 2012 we will introduce a website with more information about the systems available for you to browse.
Please contact us to discuss the current rates and specifications at the time you apply.
Country clients will have their computer freighted for free where possible.
Please note: The current waiting time for a PC is between 2 and 3 weeks.
What happens next?
When we receive your application, one of our volunteers will call you to discuss your needs and to arrange a time for you to collect your machine.
