Electronic Recycling
Thanks to reader, Deb McNeil,
for suggesting this week’s topic! And it
is a very helpful hint for sustaining the environment. Deb was told by an employee of Butte’s Staples store
that Staples is accepting office technology products for recycling at no
cost.
Out of date/ broken
electronics like monitors, computers, printers, cell phones and batteries
should not be placed in the landfill. To
properly recycle these items can often cost a responsible person $10 or more. Take advantage of this opportunity to
properly dispose of unwanted tech products at no cost to you except for
throwing them in the car when you head to Butte. Maybe this article will spark some co-oping
and through a little bit of coordination, maybe families can find collaborate
to make multiple donations in one trip??
There are some
stipulations…only 6 items per day per customer.
It doesn’t matter what brand the products are or where you purchased
them, Staples will accept the electronics for donation. Printers, scanners, fax, and laptops are also
accepted. Stop by when Staples is open;
check out Staples.com to find out more information on their recycling program
and other eco-services. So gather up
your batteries, even rechargeables, and computer pieces parts and old cell
phones and have them disposed of properly.
It is a wonderful opportunity and an easy way to take care of the
planet!
Please feel free to share
your suggestions and sustainable successes – I would be honored to include your
ideas in this on-going conversation regarding sustainability. Post comments at www.sustainablysadie.blogspot.com
