Recycle Computers and Software, Donate Monitors in Montgomery County

Two more electronics-related e-cycling opportunities in Montgomery County I saw this week.

Project Reboot is in need of used computer equipment and software. They'll take computer equipment, refurbish it, and donate it at very low cost to non-profit, educational, religion-based, and charitable organizations. Their site says, "We help schools, senior centers, religious organizations, and other groups that work with low and moderate income families, and other needy, local clients." Drop-offs are Mondays 1-5 and Wednesday 10-4 in Gaithersburg.

OASIS is in need of working computer monitors. Monitors can be dropped off on April 22 between 9 AM and 12PM at the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center 2nd floor, 4805 Edgemoor Lane in Bethesda. RecycleMyComputer is a 501c3.

Both of these are opportunities to let someone else reuse your old equipment. So don't throw it away, donate it to someone who can use it!

Hearst Community Freecycle and E-Cycle Event in NW DC, April 2

Saw this mentioned on a list-serve and then found the website.

Phoebe Hearst Elementary School will host its 3rd annual neighborhood e-cycle event, Saturday, April 2, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Their website adds:

"Please also note that there will be a free-cycle section at this event so that attendees may donate working electronics which other folks may then take with them . We will be collecting the following electronics for a new life in our free-cycle or for transport to Ft. Totten for recycling."

See site for list of items they will accept. The school is located at 3950 37th Street, NW, Washington, DC, 20008.
