A New Home for Your Old Equipment
Got Assistive Tech Gathering Dust? Now There’s a Better Way.
Apr 13, 2025
Meet Jane.
Her son recently received a new wheelchair, and the old one has been sitting in the garage ever since. It’s still in great condition — too good to throw out — but Jane doesn’t know where to take it. She wants the wheelchair to help someone who truly needs it, but she’s not sure how to make that happen.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
Introducing the New Colorado Assistive Technology Exchange
The Colorado Assistive Technology Exchange is a free, easy-to-use website where Coloradans can give, get, or find gently-used assistive technology (AT). Whether you’re downsizing, upgrading, or simply want to make a difference, this platform connects people with the devices they need to live more independently.
Visit the new site: www.coloradoatexchange.org
What You Can Find (or Donate)
Here are just a few of the most impactful types of assistive technology you’ll find on the exchange:
- Mobility Equipment – Walkers, wheelchairs, scooters, and canes that help individuals move more freely and safely.
- Communication Devices – Speech-generating tools that support individuals with complex communication needs.
- Daily Living Aids – Tools that make everyday tasks like eating, dressing, or bathing more manageable.
- Vision and Hearing Supports – Devices that assist with seeing and hearing, which include magnifiers, hearing aids, and alerting systems.
- Environmental Adaptations – Ramps, lifts, and modified furniture to make homes more accessible.
Whether you're giving or receiving, these devices can make a real difference in someone's independence and quality of life.
Got Devices to Donate or Sell? It’s Easy.
If you have unused or gently used assistive technology at home, work, or school, don’t let it go to waste. Posting a device is quick and free — no shipping required unless you choose to.
You can list items for local pickup, offer them at no cost, or set specific terms. The goal is simple: get good equipment into the hands of people who need it.

Let’s build a more connected and accessible Colorado — one device at a time.
