Edmonton Computer and Electronic Recycling Solution

Beginnings of a new ERA to the ewaste problem of Edmonton and Alberta.

(PRWEB) March 26, 2004 -- Unwanted electronics fill our landfills, at a staggering rate. The people at Interspots Inc. in Edmonton have decided to take a first step, in dealing with the impact of the millions of tons of electronics currently ending up in our countries landfills. This pilot program between Interspots Inc and Electronic Recycling Association promises a start, to responsibly dealing with this modern concern.

InterSpots Inc and Electronic Recycling Association partner up to offer this joint program to Edmontonians in need of disposing their old electronic equipment. Companies are asked to drop off their items at InterSpots Inc. location starting March 29th. From there these items will be collected by the Electronic Recycling Association of Alberta and dealt with appropriately.

Items to be acccepted include: computers, laptops, networking equipment, stereo equipment, vcrs, dvds, and other electronic items.

Electronic equipment will be accepted free of charge from companies and individuals. Refurbished equipment will be put it to good use by providing it to people on low incomes, charities, start up businesses and any other groups that can benefit from this social and environmentally beneficial program. All unusable components will be provided to specialist companies that are members of the Electronic Recycling Association and can recycle these items environmentally.

Many of the Edmonton's web design firms who are hosting their websites with InterSpots Inc are participating in this program to reduce the amount of electronic waste they send into the landfills. Much of InterSpots redundant highend equipment will also be donated for reuse and recycling purposes through this program.

So if you have electronic equipment you want to dispose of in an environmentally responsible way please contact Interspots or the Electronic Recycling Association to discuss your items and schedule a drop off, and start being a part of the local solution!
