Getting educated

Recycling Today, June, 2004

Computer Recycling for Education, Sacramento, has launched a national campaign to promote proper disposal of unwanted and obsolete electronics.

The campaign features Ewaste Eddie, a cartoon elephant who urges people to "Remember to Ecycle-it," and includes a public service announcement and informational materials for consumers, retailers, educators, recyclers, solid waste professionals and municipalities.

Company President Al Chaney says, "Practicing proper disposal of an electronic item is the best way to ensure that harmful chemicals in the electronics are not released into the environment through illegal disposal."
