King IT main mission is to create richer, safer, and more tech-savvy local communities. We aim to help your everyday non-tech savvy individual navigate this tech driven world. Part of that is also our passion for repairing a lot of our technology and NOT throwing it away the moment it starts to not work. Majority of the electronic devices we use have a lot of rare metals and materials in them and as you can imagine, there is only so much of it on the planet.
These days we seem to be constantly upgrading our gadgets which leaves a lot of very usable electronic devices in our wake. Our determination for repairing your devices is not only about helping you prolong the life of your equipment, but save you money in many instances and get your tech running as smoothly and as efficiently as possible.
There is another motive here, one we see as a social and environmental responsibility. Reusing, recycling and repairing electronic utilities not only reduces waste and makes the best use of our precious earth materials, but can be repurposed towards socially conscious causes. Teacher in a Box is a social initiative we support that provides resources for locations that do not have access to educational materials, or access to the internet. Just one repurposed laptop can be pre-loaded with a HUGE range of educational content, with a router configured to a local network. That one laptop can give several kids access to an education. If you are interested in learning more head over to the Teacher in a Box website.
DV Safe Phone is another initiative we support. It provides second-hand and refurbished phones to victims of domestic abuse. For those stuck in strenuous living circumstances it can provide a lifeline to help beyond their situation. It can also provide the means for them to develop an exit strategy if their normal phone is compromised by a partner. A simple phone can change a person’s life.
Green Tech is part of our own passion for recycling old electronic devices. Materials can be used for repairs and often the device itself can be salvaged.
New technology is bombarded at us day in and day out, and it’s hard not to be taken in by new features and new designs that bring more value to our lives. Of course we support that, because we love new technology so much ourselves, we just ask that you don’t forget the smartphones, laptops and computers you replace. There is still a place for them, even just to be recycled.
If you have any second-hand laptops, phones or computers you aren’t using, bring them to your nearest King IT store. We can help recycle, reuse and repurpose them so they can still have a positive impact on lives that need them.
At King IT, we are more than just repairs. We’re your environmentally friendly and socially conscious tech service provider.
