Kaptur Commends Goodwill for Computer Recycling Service
March 20, 2008
Congresswoman Kaptur recently commended Goodwill Industries of Northwest Ohio, which has partnered with Dell Computers, on “Reconnect,” a free drop-off program to recycle unwanted computers.
“The Reconnect program has the potential not only to divert environmentally dangerous products from the solid waste stream but also provide new opportunities for disabled citizens throughout Northern Ohio,” Kaptur said.
People who want to recycle used computers can drop them off at 14 participating Goodwill donation centers and retail stores. They should remove data from their hard drives and other storage media before making the donation.
Proceeds from the program will support Goodwill’s non-profit job training and employment programs.
