    Electronics Recycling, Donation and Gear Swap - Friday Sept 26 from 3-5pm
    body:

    Where: In the hall, by Larry King Conference Room
    When: Friday, Sept 26, 3-5pm

    We've contracted with a Luminous Recycling to bring a truck to our office to collect electronics that are no longer working to recycle and dispose of properly.  Luminous harvests usable components, grind hard drives to small bits, and comply with all EPA regulations for proper handling of electronics waste.

    Cost: $5 for one item, $10 for two or more

    Cartridge World and Cellular Recycler will have drop boxes to refurbish used Inkject Cartridges and Cell Phones for no charge, so bring in your old cell phones or inkject cartridges collecting dust!  Cellular Recycler will also make a donation to the American Cancer Society on our behalf.

    Alkaline Batteries - we will also have a drop box to properly dispose of alkaline batteries.

    Cost: Free

    Donations:

    If you have usable, but unwanted electronics, bring them in for donation to local schools and non-profits. Desired items:

    • Functional PC's with Windows O/S installed (P4 or newer)
    • TV's, DVD Players, etc. (sorry, no VCR's)
    • iPods and other electronic music players

    Gear Swap - from 3:00 - 4:30

    Sell or trade your usable electronics - just fill out a Gear Swap form and bring your electronics to the Larry King Conference room by 3pm.  We'll have tables setup for you to display your gear.  Please fill out a separate form for each item.

    Gear Swap Rules:

    1. Gear Swap closes at 4:30pm. 
    2. Highest bidder will win gear and seller is responsible for getting payment from buyer.
    3. Pick up your unsold gear by 4:30pm or you authorize Rally to recycle it (or donate it). If we recycle it, you will owe Rally the Recycling fee
    4. Rally cannot guarantee the performance of the gear being acquired.

      Thanks tons to the folks at Luminous Recycling in Denver.  They recycled all our old stuff here locally.  As a result, we did not export our probleme or opportunity to Gana ro China.  You can find Carl Schachter at 303-660-2000 www.luminousrecycling.com.
