Technology’s blistering pace is leaving a hazardous byproduct in its wake: E-waste.

Proceeds will benefit the Advanced Theatre Arts Bagpipes or Bust fundraising campaign to attend to the American High School Theatre Festival, an invitational theatre program at the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland.

A team of All Green employees will arrive at your place of business to collect E-Waste, and for a nominal fee of $10/ea provide a certificate for any items requiring secure data destruction.What is E-waste? That dated laptop in your hall closet, that VCR you haven’t used since you got the new DVD player, the dust-covered monitor in your garage, or basically anything with a plug that is unused, obsolete or non-working. All Green Electronics Recycling accepts computers, monitors, printers, TVs, VCRs, stereos, and other electronic equipment--anything with a plug and circuit board will be accepted. FURNITURE, HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE OR KITCHEN APPLIANCES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. E-waste contains heavy metals such as lead, mercury, chromium, cadmium, mercury and zinc that contaminate our soil and water, and is responsible for 70 percent of all heavy metals found in landfills today. A recent report by the Environmental Protection Agency says E-waste in landfills will grow four-fold over the next five years.
