WE NEED FOR YOU TO RECYCLE YOUR COMPUTERS/ELECTRONICS!

Hello: We are continuing on from yesterday about Computer/Electronic Recycling, as this has been the newest job opportunity for members of the Blind Center of Nevada in Las Vegas. We started the Computer/Electronic Recycling Program in 2005, and we are the only work site option for visually impaired people living in southern Nevada. Other jobs include data wiping hard drives, refurbishing systems and reselling items. All of these jobs are being accomplished by people who are visually impaired.

We gave you a partial list of useable electronics, that may be donated, in our blog yesterday. Continuing on, here are more items that we will accept for recycling: Computer Backup Batteries; Computer Wire/Cables (all types); Dictation Machines, Recorders; Empty Computer Cases; Fax Machines; Hard Drives; Ink Cartridges (empty or full); Keyboards, Mice, and Speakers. We will continue again tomorrow with more acceptable items.

For information on any of the above, please contact the Blind Center of Nevada at (702) 642-6000, or visit our website listed below.
