NOTE: Some of the answers below reflect BackInUse policy and are subject to change without notice. The FAQ was last updated December 12, 2011.
Anyone can access the website to donate or request equipment.
Any equipment that assists a person with a disability to live more independently or safely may be submitted. Since BackInUse now operates the NMTAP Second Chance Computer Donation Program, computers, including laptops, desktops, computer monitors, and printers may also be listed. Vehicles with assistive modifications may also be listed.
Supplies and equipment such as ventilators, oxygen equipment, and catheters will not be accepted. Equipment posing hygiene or safety risks will not be listed. Personal products such as Attends can be exchanged as long as they are in the original packaging.
You can access the services of the BackInuse program by contacting the program staff. Staff can review current listings for you and post equipment on your behalf. To access BackInUse through a staff member, call (505) 341-7171. BackInUse also serves many individuals with the assistance of their care providers.
When you enter the site, you will see a list of Available Equipment. You can view all needed equipment (equipment that has been requested by others) by clicking on the Needed Equipment button. To go back to the available equipment list, click on Available Equipment, or the Backinuse logo, which returns you to the home page.
To become a registered user of site, click on Register on the home page. You will be asked to provide a valid email address and create a password. You will also be asked to provide your first name, last name, and a phone number. This allows us to properly track exchanged equipment. After you fill in the required fields, you will be sent an email asking you to confirm your email address. The email will contain your User Name and Password; please keep this for your records.
Registering allows you to donate equipment, request equipment, and inquire about postings on the site more quickly. Registered users also receive newsletters from the site periodically. Your contact information such as your name, phone number, and email address is confidential and is only used by BackInUse program staff. This information is not available for others to see.
We need your email address for two reasons. First, we need contact information from you for both communication and security purposes. In the world of the Internet, it is sometimes necessary to verify that people are who they say they are. Second, this allows the program to ensure that the individuals using the site are being served and that their requests are met. The federal program that helps fund BackInUse requires us to ask you to provide feedback after a successful equipment exchange. Please be assured that your personal information will never be known to anyone outside of the site. We will never identify you by name or other defining characteristics in any report, and we never share our users’ information with other organizations or agencies.

When you wish to donate equipment, BackInUse staff will contact you and get more information about the equipment. If BackInUse is interested in accepting the equipment, they will arrange for you to drop off the donation.
BackInUse reserves the right to refuse an equipment donation for any reason. If BackInUse accepts your donation, the BackInUse team may perform a small amount of maintenance if necessary to make the equipment available for reuse.
If you request equipment, BackInUse staff will contact you and get more information about what you need. If BackInUse can fulfill your request with what is already available in the warehouse, they will arrange for you to pick up the equipment.
