The increase in waste electrical electronic equipment has been a topic discussed since the beginning of the century, in many countries there is a deficient legal frame-work for its management. In addition, there is a trend of a circular economy that determines that reuse is the best option for this management. Since 2019, Peru has established standards for the management this waste especially for reuse, at the National University of San Martín - Tarapoto its application was necessary due to the large amount of outdated computer equipment. The objectives were to reuse the outdated computers with the use of the Linux Terminal Server Project, to establish the procedure for the identification and reuse of the computers, to implement the Linux Terminal Server Project and to measure the results of reuse compared to up-dated computers. It was an applied research, of an experimental type, with cross-section, the study population was 40 computers, the sample was 6 computers, the technique used was the survey, the instrument was a questionnaire applied to 2 groups of computer equipment, the first outdated computer equipment and the second one to current computer equipment, it was concluded that, with the implementation of Linux Terminal Server Project, a higher performance was achieved for the outdated computer equipment, reaching the level of a modern computer equipment. They also have a positive impact on the environment and on prolonging the useful life of outdated computer equipment
