eCycle Drive 2013: Computer and Styrofoam Recycling
For information, contact Diane Shingledecker
2013 eCycle recap
During our four hours, we had 96 cars donate 50 loads of Styrofoam, 98 computers, 48 monitors, 57 printers/scanners, and 200 miscellaneous computer items - not bad for a rainy day! We also had fun smashing 80 hard drives. That definitely was the hit of the day. Thank you to everyone for making the event a success.
Hard Drive Destruction Station!
New for 2013: we removed hard drives and destroy them on-site!

Why eCycle?
Electronic waste is the fastest growing part of our country's waste stream. Electronics contain both re-usable materials and hazardous waste: dismantling them requires proper facilities and worker protection. However, most electronic waste has been shipped illegally to third world countries, where it is broken down by unprotected workers, poisoning their food and water.
