Earth Day Info – FREE Computer Recycling!

If you’re like most people, you probably have some old, unused computer gear sitting around collecting dust.  But did you know that PC (and TV) monitors and other elements of those old “megahertz” dinosaurs have dangerous toxins lurking inside them?  Residents will have the opportunity to donate their useable computer equipment to a local charity.

The event is scheduled for Earth Day, April 22, 7:30am to 6pm, at the Gold Coast Center parking lot, 20833 International Blvd. in Seatac.

All computers and working monitors built since 2000 will be accepted free of charge. Many computer peripheral parts, cell phones, CDs, diskettes and other items will also be accepted free of charge.

Computers and peripheral equipment that still work will find a new home after they are refurbished by InterConnection (http://www.interconnection.org/), a Seattle-based non-profit that fixes up computers and donates them to underserved people and communities located both locally and abroad.
