Edison
State Donation to benefit Dayton Children’s
The Information Technology department at Edison State Community College
has partnered with the Springfield–based non-profit organization
Charitable Recycling to benefit Dayton Children’s Hospital. Through a
recent charitable contribution of used computer equipment, Edison State
was able to provide $1,000 to Dayton Children’s Hospital.
“Donating surplus computer equipment was a great opportunity to give
back to the community and to reduce the amount of electronic waste in
the environment,” said Jason Evans, IT Help Desk Supervisor. “Knowing
that our charitable contribution will help other organizations and the
Dayton Children’s Hospital is well worth the time and effort.”
Charitable Recycling collects empty ink and laser cartridges, old
computer equipment, electronics, appliances, and many other items that
can be recycled or reused from organizations such as Edison State
Community College.
Once donated, items are sorted into reusable and recyclable items.
Items deemed reusable are sent to the New2U store in the Upper Valley
Mall in Springfield, where they are cleaned, repaired, and put out for
sale. Money collected at the New2U store directly benefits Dayton
Children’s Hospital. Meanwhile, items deemed un-repairable or obsolete
are recycled to ensure proper disposal and to keep them out of
landfills.
“All this because businesses and people like you cared enough about our
environment and our local community to participate in our program,”
said Rachel Redmon, Program Manager for Charitable Recycling. “We truly
thank you for your support and look forward to working with you in the
future.”
