Computer and Electronics Recycling

On Saturday May 19th the Green Team will hold its second annual computer and electronics recycling event. This year should be even bigger and better.

When? Saturday, May 19, 9am-1pm
Where? EB New Gym parking lot
What? Computers, monitors, TVs, small electronics, stereos, radios, VCRs, DVD players, small batteries, VCR tapes, DVDs, etc.

Why do we do this? Because electronics should not be put into landfills. Many contain toxic materials that are harmful and contaminate the land and groundwater. All these items are either refurbished to be used again or are completely recycled here in the US. We will take everything collected to Technocycle in Houston, an amazing company with a very good track record (http://technocycle.com).

Note that your computer hard drives are removed and shredded to guarantee your privacy and security. 

This is a fund raiser for the Green Team and the money raised will be used for environmental projects in East Bernard and at the school. We appreciate your cooperation!

Your costs:
TVs - $20
Computer monitors - $10
Computers, including mice, cables, keyboards, speakers - $5
Other small electronics (VCRs, stereos, DVD players, etc.) - $5
Very small electronics (ipods, batteries, tapes, etc.) - donation

Notice: we cannot take household appliances such as vacuums, air conditioners, refrigerators, etc., nor light bulbs.

If you have any other questions please contact me. Pass this information on to anyone you think might could use it. Thanks! See you on May 19!
