Recycle San Diego Urges Donations Of Unwanted Electronics To Benefit Injured Troops

By: PRLog
PR Log - Aug 31, 2011 - San Diego, CA – Recycle San Diego is urging people to donate their unwanted portable DVD players, LCD flat-screen TVs, laptops, cell phones, iPods and other personal electronic devices, working or not, in support of their donation program with the Armed Forces YMCA.

“We donate refurbished electronics to hospitalized troops who were injured in Iraq or Afghanistan,” says president Jeffrey Harding. “This program is part of Recycle San Diego’s philanthropy mission to help those who need it, and we think our wounded warriors deserve it more than most.”

Recycle San Diego accepts for free any quantity of electronics from San Diego consumers and companies. Their technicians salvage working units and parts, then get to work dismantling and rebuilding. Refurbished devices may be sold to wholesalers or donated to local nonprofits.

Remarketing manager Kevin Fink oversees Recycle San Diego’s reduce-reuse-recycle processes. “For example, we’ll get a laptop with a broken screen, and we’ll get the same model with a bad motherboard. From the two we’ll make one working unit, and save the parts for future repairs,” he says.

Recycle San Diego’s most recent donations were made to the Solana Center for Environmental Innovation and the San Diego Riverpark Foundation.

Our mission is to provide electronics recycling, it asset recovery, recycling tips and news, and to host e-waste recycling events throughout the County of San Diego.  Through these services we can find working electronics to donate to the troops.  We have been in business since 2006 and have hosted well over 250 e-waste collection drives.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6jQHHZxji0
