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.

EMPLOYEE COMPUTER RECYCLING EVENT!

Hello: The Blind Center of Nevada in Las Vegas would like to invite companies to participate in an "Employee Computer Recycling Event" to be held on their properties in the coming New Year!

This means that the company would choose a date and time for employees to donate any old or unwanted computer or electronic equipment. These donations are tax-deductible as the Blind Center is a non-profit (501C3). One hundred percent (100%) of the profit generates free services and employment for the blind and visually impaired at the Blind Center. All donations are kept out of the landfills in Nevada.

The business of Computer Recycling is one of the ways that the Blind Center of Nevada is able to assist blind and visually impaired people in the community.

JOY OF ACHIEVEMENT!

Hello: Today is another beautiful, sunny and productive day at the Blind Center of Nevada in Las Vegas. First, we need to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Ben, our Computer Recycling Scheduler!

Each day visually impaired men and women come to the Blind Center of NV to enjoy a warm and welcoming environment and, for many, the work opportunities and social activities have become a way of life. The Blind Center strives to create a positive social setting and support system outside the home for our members.

Computer/electronics recycling is only one of the meaningful employment opportunities at the Blind Center. We need to mention how important recycling is because we need to keep the landfills in Nevada free of E-waste. We also need to keep our employment opportunities moving forward, so more can benefit.

"What a man really wants is creative challenge with sufficient skills to bring him within the reach of success so that he may have the expanding joy of achievement." -- Fay B. Nash

Remember, the more E-waste we recycle, the more we all benefit, from employment opportunities and the joy of achievement, to keeping the Nevada landfills free of harmful waste.
