Recycle & Reuse
Assistive Technology can be expensive, often making the ability to pay for it a problem for persons with limited or fixed incomes. Did you know assistive technology devices, adaptive equipment and durable medical equipment (DME) may be available through Recycle and Reuse programs?
Missouri Assistive Technology (MoAT) has three programs that give people access to reusable assistive technology. These reuse programs create an opportunity for those who need AT to get it at low cost or no cost. An added, “green” benefit is keeping usable equipment out of Missouri trash dumps.

Assistive Technology/Durable Medical Equipment Recycling
DME Recycling provides refurbished walkers, crutches, canes, commodes, shower chairs, manual and power wheelchairs, positioning equipment and miscellaneous, wheelchair parts (i.e. tires, cushions, arm rests, footplates). Other types of assistive technology devices in addition to DME may also be available. MoAT has agreements with nine Missouri Recycling Locations to help provide statewide access to the programs. Donations of used equipment are also accepted.
Swap 'n Shop
Missouri AT’s Swap ‘n Shop Program is like a “classified ads” for assistive technology that matches “buyers” up with “sellers.” Missouri Assistive Technology provides a listing of equipment that consumers would like to sell, trade, donate or buy at Swap 'n Shop. Listings can include up to 3 clear photos of the items for sale.
Other Recycling Resources
There are also other resources for recycled assistive technology equipment. Many of Missouri’s Centers for Independent Living have loan closets or recycling programs. You can look here to locate your nearest Center for Independent Living to find out about specific services. You can find out more about Other Assistive Technology ReUse Programs including Reutilization Programs in Neighboring States.
