Recycling older computers.(WORKPLACE STRATEGIES)(Brief Article)

While dumping old computers may be the easy way to get rid of clutter, doing so does not help the environment nor make the world a better place. Instead, why not consider the option offered by the Nonprofit Recycling and Reuse Network, a network of individual nonprofit organizations in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

The network facilitates the donation of used computers and office electronics by connecting nonprofit organizations across the United States and worldwide with business as well as consumer donors. Go to www.recycles.org and click on "contact" to make a request. You will receive an e-mail response that provides information about donating equipment, what type of equipment is acceptable, how to correct donation information after it has been submitted, and so forth.

Clicking on "donate used equipment" provides access to a simple donation form. Note: Donors' e-mail address and contact information remain confidential and will never be revealed to anyone either inside or outside of the recycling network.
