A project of Seaville Friends Meeting (Quaker) in Southern New Jersey, One River Computer Recycling started in 1996 as Jamaican Computer Inroads. Working with Cathy Lee Gierke, a Peace Corps volunteer in Spanish Town, Jamaica, the first shipment consisted of 2 apple IIe clones. Efforts continued and with the assistance of Air Jamaica additional shipments were made and more computers were installed in more schools. Initial recipients included Spanish Town Primary School, Guanaboa Vale All Age School, Kitson Town and others.

Equipment consisted largely of DOS based, 286 and 386 machines. As Y2K neared, high level machines became available and in November 1999, we successfully shipped an assortment of 125 486 and Pentium computers.In average year One River assisted 2 to 5 schools, sending an average of fifty systems to Jamaica each year. During its course of operation approximately 25,000 pounds of systems and software were delivered to Jamaican Schools or NGOs

Due to the high cost of retrieval of donated systems, combined with the high cost of shipping, in August 2004 after 9 years of operation, One River Computer Recycling ceased operation.
