- 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.

Join us at the 4th Annual Computer eCycle Drive
Students, Staff, and Faculty from PCC Sylvania will lead the Computer eCycle Drive - accepting old, unwanted computer equipment and making sure it is responsibly recycled. At last year's drive, we recycled over 13 tons of computer equipment, and this year we hope to get even more!
