(PRWEB) April 13, 2005 -- When citizens in the Birmingham region want to contribute their unused computers, cell phones, and other electronic items on Earth Day, they wont have far to travel! TechBirmingham is announcing the fifteen (15) convenient locations for dropping off unused computing equipment.

Corporate Birmingham has already been hard at work clearing out their storage rooms, providing the TechBirmingham Ecycling Day with thousands of unused computers, monitors, printers, cell phones, and even one old mainframe.
