3rd Dalbey Education Computer Recycling Event
For the third time, Dalbey Education coordinated with Executive Recycling of Englewood, Colorado to give our community an easy way to properly dispose of obsolete computer equipment.
Recycling just one computer system normally costs $25 or more, but on February 9th Dalbey Education provided the entire Denver metro area a safe and environmentally-responsible way to dispose of any unwanted equipment… for free.
At Dalbey Education’s last recycling event, 14,000 pounds of hazardous waste was diverted from Colorado’s land fills. This time, a whopping 37,900 pounds of computer equipment was collected! This means that all of the highly-toxic materials like lead, cadmium and mercury in those 17 tons of hardware won’t end up contaminating our environment.
The event was so well attended that a line of cars extending down Church Ranch Boulevard grew as people waited to access our company parking lot and drop off their old computers.
FM radio station 99.5 “The Mountain” promoted the computer recycling event the week prior. Three local TV stations covered the story – KWGN TV-2, KCNC TV-4 and KUSA TV-9 to help spread the word about responsible disposal of office equipment.
