Computer Recycling Drive for Earth Week
Submitted on April 08, 2010
Saturday, April 17, 2010 - 10:00am - 2:00pm
Why: The Computer Recycling Program at IndependenceFirst accepts donated computers and refurbishes them, making them available to people with disabilities who otherwise couldn't afford to purchase one. We're in short supply so please direct your spring cleaning efforts to making a donation to our program with an old computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. (We prefer/minimum requirements: Pentium III, 256 or 512 MB, 800 MHz, 17 inch monitors for reuse potential).
How It Works: Usable computers will be refurbished and reused in the program. Hard drives can be cleaned out by you or us (according to strict protocol to avoid sharing of your content/personal identity). If you'd prefer, you can remove your hard drive prior to donation or we can remove and replace it as an alternative. This is a safe recycling program that has existed without issues for over 8 years. Computers that are unusable will be put directly onto a truck from a local certified computer recycler. Its a win-win-win! You get rid of something you don't need and get a tax deduction, people with disabilities get a computer and the landfills are spared of waste.
