Last week's blog post detailed how Grady Management recycled computers to the local organization RecycleMyComputer. Recycling is not just about placing plastic, paper, and glass in a green bin once a week. Many household products can be "recycled" and re-purposed, including:
1) Tech equipment: Similar to RecycleMyComputer, many organizations will accept donations of computers, printers, mice, and other technical equipment. These donations will be cleaned and refurbished, and then given to people or families in need. Companies that make the computers, such as Dell or Apple, will often take back your computers as well if the equipment is simply old and in need to be disposed of properly.
2) Eyeglasses: Have any pairs of old eye glasses that are still in good condition? Donating eye glasses is a great way to recycle something that normally would just sit in a dresser drawer. Donation boxes can be found in eye glass stores or even libraries, but Lions Club International allows people to mail in eye glass donations.
3) Cellphones: Want to replace an older cell phone model with a new release? Recycle your old cell phone and it will go to a person in need. Many cell phone providers will accept donations.
