STAR Network - AT Reutilization for SC

SCATP logo
SCATP is working with the STAR network to help facilitate equipment reutilization in South Carolina. STAR has three outreach centers throughout the state where an individual with a disability can access used equipment and assistive technology.

The used items have been cleaned and sanitized through a Washing Mechanism known as the HubScrub. Items redistributed are typically donated items being gifted for availability to persons who can utilize the item(s). Individuals can access the equipment or devices they need for a modest contribution. Individuals from the community can bring their equipment (non electric/no battery) to an nearest outreach center to be cleaned/sanitized and returned to the outreach center at the next scheduled delivery.

Call your closest point of contact from the list below or call Walton Options. If you have a computer to donate, call Walton options directly.
