Electronic Recycling Success

Thank you to everyone who brought their dead electronics to the church for recycling, rather than sending them to a landfill.

According to eGreen IT Solutions, we sent them a total of 739 pounds of recyclable materials.  eGreen handles the collected items according to the following standards:

eGreen IT Solutions ... ensures all electronic scrap will be securely dismantled and/or tested for the purpose of recycling, commodity value recovery or refurbishing purposes.  All data on received electronic scrap will be destroyed in accordance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology along with the US Department of  Defense data destruction standards...

All commodities will be sent to our approved downstream vendors that comply with the requirements of a Quality, Environmental Health and Safety System and with the provisions of the e-Stewards practices, Recycling Industry Operating Standard, ISO14001, and OSHA SA8000 ...

eGreen IT Solutions adheres to a strict zero-landfill disposal policy.

Our third annual recycling event was a great success; let's start collecting again for next year's Earth Day celebration!
