Computer resource is a basic element to give impetus to digital work. Used computer is the best solution to help people and organizations that are not able to buy computers to have their own one. In order to match up the plan of minimizing digital divide formulated by the Executive Yuan, Environmental Protection Administration authorized Institute for Information Industry to process the ‘Task of Recycling and Transferring Used Computers in 2006.’ The main jobs of this task are to recycle, re-arrange, test and re-assemble used computers, and to transfer them to someone who needs them. These jobs will accompany with propagating through media to increase the amount of recycling. Moreover, the establishment of information platform top can be used to record the source of recycling and the result of transfer that will be the reference of latter tracing. The main source of used computers is from government and private organizations. With the control of operational process that re-arranges, tests and re-assembles used computers and then pastes qualified marks on them, used computers become reprocessed computers. According to the list provided by Research, Development, and Evaluation Commission, the target of transfer is set for students who live in remote country and for minority who lives in remote areas. The expected amount of transfer is 3,800. Our project will combine environmental protection, public welfare and technology together and will try to create opportunities for sustainability. Besides advocating correct viewpoints of recycling, we will put Environmental Protection Administration’s object ‘3R’ into practice; those are to carry out garbage reducing, recycling and reusing. Through this drive, we hope to inspire our government, private organizations and the public to engage in social welfare and at the same time to solve the problem of lack of IT equipment in remote areas. That can achieve the target of reducing digital divide between city and country and make the minority, aborigine and people living in remote areas have their own computer equipment.
