Did you receive a new electronic device replacing an old one this
holiday season? You can recycle it to benefit UCP! The Recycle for UCP
program by BCS Recycling Specialists provides free collection boxes to
affiliates and the public for electronic waste (e-waste) recycling of
cell phones, PDAs, iPods, digital cameras and inkjet cartridges. For
laptops, you can order a pre-paid FedEx label from
www.scrapdr.com. Recycling is a
wonderful way to empower UCP to further serve communities by offering a
responsible way to handle e-waste.
So, how does it work?
- Order boxes by emailing Gina Ginn at gginn@ucpofcentralohio.org.
- Place boxes around your community (college and high school
campuses,
your office, libraries, DMV locations, restaurants, etc. with prior
approval from proprietor);
- When the box is full or your e-waste drive is complete, simply
pull out
the bottom flap and seal it so the pre-paid FedEx Ground label is
showing (fill out the attached sticker to have additional boxes sent)
- Call FedEx Ground — (800) GO-FEDEX — for a pick up.
When BCS Recycling Specialists receive the full box, contents are
sorted and evaluated, data is erased from all items and a check is sent
for the items' value. Payments range from $.50 for scrap devices to $10
for laptops. All items are recycled and nothing goes into the landfill.
Additionally, it helps UCP to raise money without asking your company,
any of your employees, or customers for a monetary donation or to
purchase something from us!!
