What is Soft Logic?

Soft Logic is a community-centered technology and sustainability initiative based in Jasper County focused on bridging the digital divide, reducing electronic waste, and building pathways into technical careers.

We believe technology should not be a luxury. Access to reliable devices and safe technology support has become essential for education, employment, healthcare, and everyday life. Yet many rural communities continue to face barriers that leave people disconnected from these opportunities. Through refurbished devices, digital literacy programs, repair culture initiatives, and responsible e-waste recycling, we work to keep technology accessible and out of landfills.

Our goal is not only to recycle electronics, but to restore opportunity, confidence, and community resilience.

Our Four Pillars

Reducing E-Waste

A pile of various computer hardware components including circuit boards, graphics cards, and other electronic parts.

Safe, responsible e-waste collection for residents and businesses.

  • We divert electronics from landfills and illegal dump sites across Jasper County keeping hazardous materials out of our soil and water.

Reviving Technology

We repair and refurbish devices for a second life.

  • Collected devices are tested, repaired, and refurbished by trained volunteers then redistributed to community members at little or no cost.

Reinvesting in People

Three young men working on a computer or electronic device, focusing on assembly or repair, in a room with posters on the wall.

Technology redistributed to those who need it most.

  • Revenue from device resale and responsible recycling flows back into our programs, keeping Soft Logic sustainable and community-funded.

Reimagining Learning

Hands-on classes in digital skills, repair, and tech literacy.

  • Free digital literacy classes and hands-on workforce training give community members the skills to thrive in today's connected economy.
