Today we will talk a little about recycling E-Waste (electronic items, mainly computers, cell phones, etc.). Three stories in the E-Scrap News publication caught my eye. The first concerns a new and the only national mail-in recycling program that’s owned and operated by a social enterprise.
This nonprofit e-scrap recycling organization, Tech Dump, is based in the Twin Cities region of Minnesota. Its new mail-in electronics recycling program is called Scrubb it.
While we like the idea of being able to ship them such electronic scrap items as cell phones, laptop computers, tablets, etc., we were a little disappointed that one has to purchase a $25 postage label to ship them. However, on the plus side, the shipping label does allow you to ship up to 30 pounds of such items.
