Clean Out That Garage and Recycle Old Electronics

Hi Makers of Brilliance!

Students of Transition Plus need your help while you de-clutter your garage and attic.  The Electronics Recycling class is running dangerously low on machines to recycle.  As you clean out your garage and find any kind of machine that has recycle-able parts, motors, electronics, cords or anything like that, bring it in.  You will get environmentalist points, be helping the students, your sense of orderliness, and your safety.  It is said that people lurking around neighborhoods see old electronics on the corner as a sign that there are new electronics in the house.  

You can help your neighbors, friends, daycare providers, kids de-clutter.  For all of you who admire Nichole Curtis (Rehab Addict) for her resourcefulness and beautifully rehabbed homes,  I am even giving you permission to follow suit and give dumpster diving a try J

If you have a large pile of electronics and would have a hard time  bringing them to work, put them all in one place and we can pick them up for you. Tell your neighbors to stockpile their electronic gold in your garage.  One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

TV’s are not useful to us but we will take anything else: Coffee pots, vacuum cleaners, printers, microwaves, dishwashers, computers, anything with a motor or cords, you get creative and challenge Jackie’s students’ critical thinking skills with the variety of stuff you bring in. 

If you have any questions about what is useful, talk to Jackie Paul, often found in the computer recycling room (C120), or you can call her at 45008.

Thank you!
