XMission Sponsored Computer Recycling Event ------------------------------------------- XMission and Salt Lake City will offer free home electronics recycling to Salt Lake residents this Saturday, May 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 175 E. and 400 S. Recycling Event Details ----------------------- Here at XMission we love the latest technology, but we also believe in taking responsibility for the impact of electronic waste on our environment. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, "more than 3.2 million tons of electronic waste is laid to rest in U.S. landfills each year. Consumer electronics constitute 40 percent of the lead found in landfills according to the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition." To fight this growing problem, and educate the public, XMission and Salt Lake City will co-sponsor a Home Electronics Recycling Event this Saturday, May 12, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Residents of Salt Lake City can recycle their home electronics for FREE. Accepted items include computers, monitors, printers, keyboards, televisions, VCRs, DVDs, and cellular phones. Non-Salt Lake City residents can also recycle their home electronics at this event but for a nominal fee to cover costs. Costs range from $1 for keyboard recycling to $25 for large televisions. This event will occur in the west parking lot of the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce building at 175 E. and 400 S. Event participants can drive into the parking lot where volunteers will help them unload their electronic equipment. Salt Lake City residents must provide proof of residence by either supplying a current utility bill or driver's license. XMission and Salt Lake City will use Guaranteed Recycling Xperts (GRX), one of the leading recyclers of computers and electronics in the nation, to ensure that none of the electronics gathered at this event will end up in landfills. GRX guarantees no landfilling, no incineration, and no exporting to third world countries. Anyone who brings in reusable computer gear can also elect to donate it to local nonprofit organizations that refurbish Internet ready machines for reuse.
