Nonprofit Technology Resources (NTR) is a charitable nonprofit organization (NPO) inside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that "serves low-income people in Philadelphia by recycling used computers, providing hands-on work experience, and assisting community-based service organizations to use computers in their work."
Security
An internal NTR policy is that hard drives are removed upon system receipt, and are re-imaged before being re-installed in a system. All systems are tagged with a tracking number that, with the donor's name, is entered into a centralized database.
