Electronics Recycling and You
Individuals, businesses and governments have been bringing their worn out computers and
TVs to places like Goodwill for a long time. But year after year, Goodwill and similar collection
facilities have been incurring the disposal costs of electronic merchandise that it cannot resell -
ultimately causing the organization to spend money on hefty disposal fees rather than vital
community programs.
Our programs are designed to reduce potential environmental hazards and to efficiently
reuse items that still work. Because some of the materials donated are saleable, we have been
able to offset some disposal fees. However, steadily increasing donations mean that these fees
are rising. In order to keep recovery and recycling programs economically viable and fairly
distribute the costs, we are asking electronics donors to do their part and pitch in a small portion
of the cost of disposal fees.
Doing Our Part
Goodwill is offering safe and secure environmental disposal options including data
destruction, reuse and recycling of donated electronics.
Doing Your Part
Goodwill has now implemented a $5.00 contribution to accompany each monitor and TV
donation (in working order or not.) Collection services are also available for a fee.
Everyone pays the same fee, whether you are a household, business or government agency.
The fee is minimal compared to the cost of new equipment.
Your participation helps make low cost technology available to Goodwill customers and helps
fund the job training program for our technical staff.
Even though you are paying a fee, there still may be tax benefits of your donation, please
consult with your accountant to determine the value of your contribution.
Please consider helping Goodwill by contributing the small fee. Do it for yourself, your family and your community.
Just cut or tear off the bottom of this flyer and mail it in with your contribution payable to Goodwill.
For more information about electronics recycling problems and answers, ask for reading materials at your
Goodwill register.
