Recycle your computers and give to kids!

Cincinnati Computer Cooperative will take old computers, give to kids

Miami Township will be hosting a Computer Reuse/Recycling Event on Saturday, August 18th from 8 a.m. - noon at the Miami Township Service Department Building on 5900 McPicken Drive.

This is an opportunity for all residents and businesses of Clermont County to donate computers that are no longer being used - and it is free!

“The Clean and Green Program is incredibly fortunate to be partnering with Cincinnati Computer Cooperative (C3) and Miami Township on this Computer Reuse/Recycling Event. We partnered with C3 on a previous Computer Reuse/Recycling Event and at that time almost 800 computer components were donated. Miami Township has graciously agreed to host this event. The Miami Township elected officials and administration recognize just how important an event like this is. This will prevent thousands of pounds of electronic waste from going into our local landfills, much of it containing toxins such as lead and mercury.” states Becky Ploucha, Director of the Clean and Green Program.

C3 Executive Director Walt Fischer asks that people with donations enter off of Meijer Drive, right next to the Dairy Queen. Mr. Fischer adds “The Cincinnati Computer Cooperative not only recycles computers like other for-profit computer recyclers in the Greater Cincinnati area, but we also reuse computers through our refurbishing program. Hundreds of computers are made available to schools, nonprofits, students and families on assistance. Last year 20% of donated equipment was sold to groups, families and individuals for under $100 a piece. As a sponsor of “Crayons to Computers” complete computer systems are given to that organization.”

If you have any questions regarding this recycling event please contact Becky Ploucha at 513-753-9222 or cleanandgreen@clermont2020.org
