WHY SHOULD YOU RECYCLE YOUR OLD COMPUTER EQUIPMENT?
Computers contain hazardous substances that can get into ground water – CRT screens alone contain up to 8 POUNDS of lead! PerScholas will upgrade and recycle your computer to benefit its Comp2Kids program.

A student without a computer simply cannot succeed in today’s classroom or tomorrow’s workplace.

WHAT CAN BE RECYCLED?
Computers Laptops Monitors Printers Cables Cell Phones
We accept PCs and Macs. All equipment can be in working or non-working condition. We welcome all computer accessories as well including keyboards, mice, internet networking devices (ie routers)

There is no charge to recycle, however donations (cash or check to PerScholas) are welcomed and appreciated. PerScholas will data wipe all hard drives on functioning computers and mechanically shred hard drives on computers which will not turn on.

About PerScholas:

PerScholas, a nonprofit organization based in the South Bronx has three primary goals:

• Bring affordable technology to underserved children and families through Comp2Kids
• Train unemployed adults to become certified computer technicians
• Provide environmentally responsible recycling of computer equipment

The Upper East Side Computer Recycling Day is sponsored by The Hewitt School.
