This year-round program, led by Ryan West, aims to divert e-waste and metals from the landfill to be recycled or refurbished. Currently 20 to 50 million metric tons of e-waste are disposed of worldwide every year. Only 12% of e-wastes is currently recycled. The company we partner with to pickup our E-waste is ER2. They are a local company that also focuses on helping in the community. One of the programs they run from their facility is to collect scraped computers and refurbish them for reuses. They have a program to help get computers to schools, families, and individuals that may not be able to afford a computer otherwise.
Next pick up date will be Monday, July 8th. See a complete and extensive list of accepted recyclable items and past Environmental Impact Reports on Ryan's web page. Accepted items from home are accepted. If you have any questions or need additional details, please contact a Green Team Member.
