FreeGeek Chicago recycles a ton of stuff...
.. actually it was two tons!
On March 29, 2008, we recycled 80+ monitors and 3400 lbs. of general waste (PCs, components, and miscellaneous metal and plastic) at System Service International (SSI) in the Chicago suburbs. We rented an 18ft. truck and in a matter of a few hours, loaded it full.
This incredible effort of the FreeGeek Staff was assisted by Abraham Williams of Madison, WI and Kyle Drake of St. Paul, MN - friends of the environment and geeks alike.
We hope to hold another recycling day rather soon, as we have done enough business lately, it seems, to fill almost another truck! What a great spring cleaning!
