WHAT:  NextStep Recycling, Eugene based 501c(3) nonprofit refurbisher/recycler of household and commercial electronics hardware, has opened a second location in Springfield, OR. The new 4,750-square-foot building is centrally located in Springfield. Community members can drop off their obsolete electronics and shop at the ReUSE Store. The ReUSE store is filled with low priced refurbished electronics and office furniture. Computers, cell phones, cameras, PDAs, televisions can be found at bargain prices. Both Eugene and Springfield stores will have a 25% discount on all items (excluding laptops and cell phones) for the grand opening event.

On February 27th, from 5-8 p.m., NextStep will be promoting its new location with music, activities, and locally donated food and beverages. Big Town Hero Mohawk will be supplying sandwiches.

Springfield Mayor, Sid Leiken, and Eugene Mayor Kitty Piercy, will be speaking about the  positive impact NextStep has on our community.

WHY: NextStep Recycling’s mission is to create a network of people and organizations committed to addressing the impact electronic waste has on our environment. With this expansion, NextStep Recycling is making it easier than ever for Lane County residents to dispose of their electronics in an environmentally sound way. NextStep Recycling continues to help keep harmful leads and metals out of landfills and provide education and empowerment to low income and disadvantaged Oregonians. With the opening of the new location, NextStep Recycling’s mission is continually being met, and Eugene and Springfield are well on their way to become two of the “greenest” cities in the country.

Testimonials:
Owning a Mac, it's hard to find trustworthy service where the person
not only understands my basic needs but also doesn't sell me more than
what is absolutely necessary for my situation. Every time I've been
to NextStep, the knowledgeable Mac guys have been exceptionally
helpful, they've put me on the right track AND inevitably saved me
money. Zach who installs the purchased parts is really patient, too.
Good experiences at NextStep = good word-of-mouth promotion from me.  
Thank you very much! Nancy

I went down to the ReUSE Store the other day, looking for a firewire
cable. I found one for $2.00-the same cable would have cost me $19.99
new. Works great! I ended up finding a toaster and a cell phone that
my family needed. What a great store! Mateo
