Overview

Tech Exchange (formerly OTX) is dedicated to providing digital equity to residents across the East Bay. For over 20 years we have provided free refurbished computers and digital literacy training to low income families and supported schools' and community centers' technology needs. By refurbishing donated technology from individuals businesses and organizations we have diverted 700 tons of e waste from landfills. OTX was founded by Bruce Buckelew a pioneer in addressing the digital divide through green technology solutions. After retiring from IBM as a Systems Engineer and Manager Bruce completed his Masters coursework in Educational Technology at San Francisco State University and began volunteering at Oakland Technical High School. With the help of students Bruce began refurbishing computers to provide to families in need. Over the last 20 years OTX has refurbished over 40000 computers for our community.
