Reboot Hour: HANDOFF | Holiday Upgrades & e-Waste
It’s Cyber Monday. The upgrades are coming. The leftovers are piling up.
What happens to your old tech when the new stuff arrives? This month’s Reboot Hour is all about the HANDOFF: passing technology on to its next owner or next purpose instead of letting it collect dust.
Grab a drink and meet great people from tech, climate, startups, and the local community. No devices? No problem. Come for the people, the conversation, and the fun.
🍻 What to expect
Relaxed drinks and conversation in the Courtroom, Courthaus Social’s back bar
🔍 Device Detectives, a fun game that makes meeting new people easy, with sustainable prizes at the end of the night
📱 A free, friendly drop-off table for your old tech
📱 Bring your old tech. Give it a new chapter.
Upgraded your phone? Replaced a laptop? Found a drawer of forgotten gadgets over Thanksgiving? Many of those “leftovers” still have plenty of life in them.
Phones, laptops, tablets, wearables, AR/VR headsets, game consoles, chargers, and cords are all welcome. Donation drop-off is free. We can’t accept TVs, CRT monitors, large appliances, or loose batteries.
⚡ Skip the line: pre-register in about 15 seconds
