Barack Obama Might Give Up His Blackberry

That’s right, the president-elect may be forced to give up his treasured Blackberry. As per the Presidential Records Act, all of the president communications must be put in the official record and are subject to public review and even the threat of subpoenas. What does this means for the president-elect? Time to turn over that Blackberry!

Mr. Obama could recycle his Blackberry with Recycle 4 a Cause to benefit a local or national non-profit organization. As for the rest of us, our e-mails might not all be subject to subpoenas, but we can certainly all do the right thing and recycle our old cell phones and PDA’s to benefit hunger relief, soldiers, domestic violence prevention, refugees, pets and wildlife, clean world water, or global warming prevention!

Other presidential Blackberry fans include John McCain and Hillary Rodham Clinton!

Green Tip of the Week

“Going green” doesn’t necessarily mean putting forth much effort. Every little step is a step in the right direction! Here is one example of an effortless action that you can take today:

Say “no” to ATM receipts. If everyone in the U.S. said no after each transaction, it would save a roll of paper so long it could circle the equator fifteen times.

Now, wasn’t that easy?

 

True Trash Treasure

Ever wonder what those weird green mazes called circuit boards get turned into? If they’re just left to a landfill, the heavy metals, high levels of pollutants, and flame retardants can leach into the water and soil–potentially harming humans and definitely having a negative impact on the environment.

Scientists all over the world are working on ways to recycle these circuit boards safely, and they’re coming up with great ideas!  Circuit boards are being reused to make things like…

Cufflinks for the tech-savvy man in your life… 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Modern art…

Wall clocks to spruce up the office…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cool lookin’ coasters…

 

And our personal favorite…

Yep…that’s a car decorated in circuit boards…

Romanian and Turkish scientists have even figured out a way to process the circuit boards, remove the toxic substances from the sraps, and produce oils that can be safely used as fuels as well as in plastics and other products.  Chinese scientists have also developed a way to process the non-metallic components in the boards, making them into materials almost as strong as reinforced concrete.  These materials are being used as wood substitutes, making things like sewer grates, fences, even park benches! 

If you have circuit boards to recycle, give us a call (877-790-1870) or an email support@recycle4acause.com and we’ll check into the best way to recycle them.

How will your old circuit boards go down in history?

RecycleFest!

This summer Access Computer Products, in conjunction with Recycle for a Cause, hosted the very first annual RecycleFest. What is a RecycleFest you might ask? It’s a BLAST, that’s what! The goal for RecycleFest was community outreach—to let members of the community know that we are recycling for a cause, and so can they! A few weeks prior to the event, our scouts canvassed the streets, passed out fliers and gabbed to anyone who would lend an ear. We sent press releases to local news and radio stations advertising an entire afternoon of free e-waste recycling right here at our headquarters in Loveland, Colorado.

 The event was a smashing success. Over 45,000 pounds of materials were brought in for recycling and the word is still spreading about Recycle for a Cause. Proceeds from the event were donated to non-profit organizations like Trees Water and People, The Crossroads Safe House, and the Larimer County Humane Society.

 

So what are you doing to get the word out? For more ideas on how to spread the good news, contact support@recycleforacause.com or call toll-free at 877-790-1870.
