Recycle

“Creating Green Partners” ™

Older Generation Electronic Equipment such as computers, monitors, printers, fax machines, copiers, and other electronic devices are becoming a significant disposal problem for our nation. City, county, state and federal governments are scrambling to cope with the electronic waste (eWaste) problems that are growing each day.

We are unable to recycle Flat Screen TVs, CRT (fat) monitors, and batteries. Thanks for considering us and donating your other electronic waste to us for recycling or refurbishing! Receipts and thank you coupons available at our Donation Roll Up door on the west end of our building.

ComputerCorps has been addressing the e-waste issues since 1997 in order to reduce the environmental impact of everyone’s electronic products that are headed for the landfills.

 Benefits of Recycling with ComputerCorps

• Our primary goal for all products received is “RE-USE”. Most of the computer-related items are refurbished and upgraded, then donated at little or no cost to other non-profit organizations, schools, and individuals who would not otherwise be able to acquire them.
• Materials are managed in a way to minimize environmental impacts by focusing on the reuse and reclamation of materials versus adding them to our nation’s landfills or disposing of electronic waste in some other manner.
• These donated electronic items are de-manufactured. The components are then separated and tested. Usable items are then put into computer systems for distribution back into the communities.
• Unusable items such as plastic, glass, tins, aluminum, wire, etc, are then separated into bins and are given or sold to recyclers in order to support our programs.

•  Removing this electronic waste from our nation’s landfills.
•  Refurbishing these electronic items to provide economic opportunity for disadvantaged communities.
•  Reusing these items within these communities through our “Every Home a Classroom”™ Program
