Ecycle Events

InterConnection caries out Ecycle events with local non profit, schools and community organizations.

An Ecycle event is a one day event that collects old computer boxes (CPU's), computer monitors, computer peripherals and TV's.  All of these items have heavy metals and are illegal to dispose of with regular garbage service.  An Ecycle event provides the community with opportunity properly recycle and donate these items.  Non working components are recycle by a the local electronics recycler Total Reclaim.  Working items are given a second life and used for InterConnection's refurbished computer program. We would be glad to work with your organization to carry out an Ecycle in your community.  Contact Us.
