THAT PILE OF OLD ELECTRONICS IS FULL OF POTENTIAL!

Every year, more than 59 million tons of electronics become e-waste, making it the fastest-growing waste problem in the world. That’s 16 pounds for every single person on the planet every single year! (Global E-Waste Monitor)

Dell and EPB partner with Goodwill Industries of the Greater Chattanooga Area to reduce waste and make it convenient for people to recycle their unwanted technology.

Through Goodwill’s long-standing Reconnect partnership with Dell, you can expand the life cycle of your unwanted electronics through environmentally responsible disposal, and at the same time, help create jobs and revenue for job training opportunities for people in need of work. The materials in these donated products can be reused in the production of new products, minimizing the amount that goes into landfills and the need for raw materials like plastics, glass, and metals.
