WHY PONDER ABOUT E-WASTE RECYCLING!

Hello: When pondering the thought of computer/electronic recycling, please keep in mind that this service is mutually beneficial to those who support the idea. E-waste recycling not only helps to keep the environment clean, but also provides employment at the Blind Center of Nevada in Las Vegas for the blind and visually impaired members.

At the Blind Center, our recycling efforts help to fund the many activities, programs, transportation and the ability to provide a lunchtime meal to those who may not be able to eat otherwise. We are the only blind center in the United States that offers all of these programs to our members.

If you are interested in supporting our efforts, or know someone who is blind/visually impaired in need of help, please contact us at (702) 642-6000, or visit our website listed below.
