UCP of Central Ohio

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?

1. Order boxes by emailing Gina Ginn at gginn@ucpofcentralohio.org.
2. Place boxes around your community (college and high school campuses, your office, libraries, DMV locations, restaurants, etc. with prior approval from proprietor);
3. 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)
4. 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!!

For more information regarding this project, please contact Gina Ginn at (614)-279-0109 Ext. 209. You may also visit our website at www.ucpofcentralohio.org.
