Turn eWaste Into Tuition for Atlanta’s Firefighters

Home » Turn eWaste Into Tuition for Atlanta’s Firefighters

FireFighterFlyerEcycle Atlanta has partnered with the Atlanta Fire Foundation to purchase
donated e-waste during Earth Week (April 21-26). Both businesses and
homeowners can drop off their old computers, laptops and cell phones at
any Atlanta fire station, and the Fire Foundation will receive full
credit. The funds that we pay to the Foundation will then be used to
reimburse tuition fees for the firefighters.

Beginning April 21 through the 26, Atlanta residents can donate any of the
following at their local fire station:

  • Business phones
  • Cable boxes
  • Cell phones
  • Computers
  • Laptops
  • Network equipment
  • Satellite receivers

Note: Large donations from corporations and other organizations can be
scheduled for pick up at the donor’s convenience and location.

The Atlanta Fire Foundation’s electronic recycling program is a “win-win”
for everyone, as it not only brings us a step closer to sustainability,
but it also helps Atlanta firefighters in reaching their educational
goals.
