04/23/2003: "Free Computer Recycling"

Dell Computer Corp. and the National Cristina Foundation, in conjunction with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the Recycling Alliance of Texas, and Austin ParksFest are offering a free technology recycling day, Sunday, April 27, at Auditorium Shores parking lot beneath the Drake/1st Street Bridge. The event coincides with Austin's Earth Day celebration.

Central Texas area residents are invited to empty their closets and garages of unwanted computers, monitors, printers and other computer peripherals. The event's goal is to make donation and recycling of computer equipment easy and affordable for consumers while putting refurbished technology in the hands of Central Texas area children and adults who cannot afford new technology. Drop off is free. Usable equipment will be cleaned and donated to local Central Texas area charities. Recycling of all other accepted materials is free of charge to consumers.

ACCEPTED items include any brand of computer-related equipment, computers, computer monitors, keyboards, mice, printers and other peripherals. Please remove all data from your computer's hard drive and any removable media such as floppy disks or PC cards. The event will NOT ACCEPT televisions, copiers, cell phones or other household electronics unrelated to your computer.
