Last Saturday the ELGHS chapter of the National Honor Society hosted an electronics recycling drive in connection with Cybergreen, a recycling company based in Green Bay. This event was open to everyone to get rid of old or unused electronic equipment in an environmentally safe way FREE of charge (except TVs and monitors). All items collected are stripped of their valuable components for recycling by Cybergreen. These items are not being shipped overseas and contributing to the growing electronic waste problem occurring in many developing countries, rather they are being domestically processed and kept out of landfills. The NHS earns a percentage of the overall collection, so the more we collect, the better it is for everyone. We will be hosting this event again next spring, so start saving your junk! This year we nearly filled an entire semi, and we're optimistic that we can collect even more next year. Thank you to everyone who came to support NHS and help the environment.
