A unique public and private collaboration held over April 16, 17 to collect and recycle computers and eWaste was an unqualified success. The project organizers’ goal was to collect 10,000 pounds of items, but they more than doubled that amount. Two significant donations from Micron Utah will likely bring the total eWaste kept out of Utah landfills close to 30,000 pounds in total.
Volunteers packed 25 huge pallets with items which will be shipped to Boise, Idaho, where they will be processed. Useable computers will be professionally wiped clean of all data, then spruced up and sent back to Utah kids who don’t have access to a computer.
