Indie Cycle guarantees that all items will be refurbished, reused, demanufactured or recycled legally, ethically and responsibly, but cannot guarantee specific items will have specific outcomes. In other words, your bad computer might be fixed (without your data!), your perfectly good television might be recycled, or your old odd antique or vintage device may become a piece of artwork.
