Downers Grove Digital Doc “Techs the Town” w Electronic Donation

Local Tech Repair Store Hosts Community-Driven Holiday Campaign; Collects Tech Devices for Bike Bald

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. – Forget decking the halls. It’s time to tech the town, Downers Grove.

This holiday season, Digital Doc, the leading local provider of certified, pre-owned devices and electronic repair services in Downers Grove, is leaving its digital footprint in the hearts of the Downers Grove community by giving back to local residents who have limited resources and access to technology through a partnership with Bike Bald.

From November 13 to January 13, Digital Doc in Downers Grove (417 63rd St, Downers Grove, IL 60516) is collecting gently used electronics and encouraging customers and business owners to donate their old cell phones, tablets and computers to benefit the Bike Bald, a non-profit that works to provide the emotional support to children and their families struggling with cancer and other illnesses. The brand-wide initiative, named “Tech the Town” emphasizes the importance to recycle and reuse technology, while spreading holiday cheer and gifting gadgets to those in need.

“Nowadays, people are constantly upgrading their devices and abandoning their old tech– especially during the holiday season,” said Levi Dinkla, CEO of Digital Doc. “Instead of leaving perfectly salvageable technology to sit in a junk drawer, we want to provide these items to new owners who don’t necessarily have the same privileges. So many people would find joy from the donations, and we’re rallying our customers to help us make a meaningful difference in their lives.”

In addition to collecting gently used cell phones, tablets and laptops, Digital Doc is also accepting broken devices and electronics that are in poor condition. In order to eliminate the amount of technology that gets thrown away and sent to landfills, Digital Doc will either repair the item for donation or dispose of it properly.
