Birmingham, AL (ContentDesk) December 23, 2005 -- Why keep an old computer laying around if a new one is received for Christmas?

Volunteers will be on site to assist in the unloading of donated equipment and provide each consumer with a tax receipt. Co-sponsored by TechBirmingham and Vulcan Park Foundation (VPF), this ecycling drive is to encourage local residents to recycle their used electronic equipment for the benefit of local non-profits within the greater Birmingham community. Accepted items include:
Desktop computers, Laptop computers, Computer monitors, Keyboards and input devices, Printers, Scanners, Digital cameras, PDAs and handheld devices, Game systems, Printer cartridges (laser and inkjet), and Cell phones.While most of the items received will be recycled and demanufactured, many will be refurbished.
All usable desktop computers will be refurbished and redistributed to select community-based computer learning centers whose programs would benefit from an additional supply of computers.
All laptops will be considered for use by Vulcan Park Foundation for educational use in conjunction with Vulcan Parks wireless Internet service.
Such laptops, along with the parks wireless Internet capability, will allow VPF the opportunity to integrate Internet use in existing childrens workshops, create new educational opportunities designed specifically for learning about WiFi, and offer the community access to a valuable resource.ABOUT VULCAN PARK:Vulcan Park is home to the world's largest cast iron statue and features spectacular views of Birmingham.
