Mission Statement
To keep reusable materials out of the landfill and improve technology awareness and availability to the underserved through recycling/refurbishing and educational opportunities using recycled and refurbished technologies
Description
Web Innovations & Technology Services (WITS) is a non-profit organization established in Nov. 2001, our goal is to be run and staffed by students with a "pass it on" value. We used refurbished systems to train and educate underserved populations and nonprofits and build communities through these efforts. We recycle/refurbish-donated systems from local organizations and companies and channel them back into the community and into nonprofits. This keeps the used equipment out of the landfills, and provides those in need with the technology to accomplish their educational/career goals. We also recycle all materials appropriately 100%. WITS was granted tax-exempt 501(c)3 status in July 2002. Primary operations are in St. Louis city lower-income and destitute areas. Office building is located in a lower income area.
