"Electronics for a Cause" to Offer Free Recycling of Consumer Electronics, Raise Funds for Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful
Tampa, FL, April 01, 2015 --(PR.com)-- As part of its 2015 Earth Day celebration, Rapid Refill Ink will join forces with Urban E Recycling from April 22 – May 30, 2015, to present “Electronics for a Cause,” offering free recycling of consumer electronics. Recycling proceeds will benefit Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful.
Office and household used electronics can be dropped off at Rapid Refill Ink, 10416 N. Dale Mabry Hwy., Tampa, Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
The following items will be accepted for proper recycling: Computers (desktop and laptop), servers, hard drives, circuit boards, UPS battery backups, monitors, printers, copiers, DVD players, VCRs, modems, cable boxes, satellite receivers, routers, lead acid non-spillable batteries, lithium ion batteries, cell phones, telephones, phone system hardware, insulated cable, all metals associated with electronics, video game systems and ink and toner cartridges.
Those wishing to donate large items, such as big screens or a large quantity of items, should arrange for pick-up by contacting Rapid Refill Ink at (813) 514-0680.
Urban E Recycling will wipe hard drives off-site and provide a data destruction certificate. The $5 fee will be donated to Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful.
The event will also feature secure on-site document shredding for a discounted fee of .79/lb.
Local ordinances require that electronics be disposed of in a proper manner and not placed with normal household or office trash. Over 85 percent of all electronic waste (E-waste) goes un-recycled, with millions of tons entering the waste stream every year. The average American household has at least 24 electronic items. E-waste can contain more than 1,000 components, many of which are toxic.
