E-waste Drives
If you are a student, business owner, or key leader in a company, e-waste drives are an excellent way to make a difference. Our goal is to collect as much e-waste and devices as possible and partner with YOUR local nonprofit organizations that are eliminating the digital divide.
The Process
|
Hosting a drive involves communicating with your campus or employees and encouraging participation several weeks in advance. We come to your location and set up collection points for people to drop off their e-waste. After the drive, we will take the converted devices your volunteers repurposed on-site and deliver them directly to your nonprofit of choice. As far as unusable or unconvertable devices go, we will recycle these at our local R2-certified recycling partner. |
