Follow on Google News | Recycling e-Waste for Cash—Used Cell Phones, Print Cartridges, iPods, Digital Cameras & GPS UnitsGlobal Re-Source Funding has just geared up recycling with the addition of digital camera and GPS buybacks.
By: Global Re-Source Funding The program works with thousands of schools, churches, retailers, organizations and non-profits throughout the US to provide them with a convenient and easy way to raise money while focusing on the “green” effects of recycling. Global Re-Source Funding’s purchasers are always looking for new items that fit into the program, and digital cameras and GPS devices were natural add-ons. Much like cell phones and iPods, digital cameras and GPS devices are being upgraded with the introduction of upgraded technology and quality in their newer models. They are also getting less expensive, making a new 10+ mega pixel camera or high-tech GPS unit attainable for even the most cost conscious. “We have teamed up with a locally based company that takes the used cameras and GPS’s and refurbishes them to sell to consumers that are looking for a ‘green’ product, or one at a lower price point,” commented Erin Bonomo, Program Director of Global Re-Source Funding. “As with all of the items we accept, we’re more focused on the re-use approach rather than simply recycling.” A complete list of items that are included in the Global Re-Source Funding recycling/fundraising program can be found at www.GlobalRe- About Global Re-Source Funding Since 1995, OPRA has been a worldwide industry leader in creating new opportunities to keep products out of landfills and back in the hands of consumers. Global Re-Source Funding, formerly Rethink Ink, was formed two years later as a subsidiary to head OPRA’s end-user collections. The program pays participating organizations for used ink/toner cartridges, cell phones, digital cameras, GPS units, iPods and laptops and offers several different promotions throughout the year in addition. These items are then diverted from the landfills and sent to certified remanufacturing companies to be refurbished, lowering the depletion of resources required to manufacture new items. # # # Worldwide leader in reverse logistics of recyclable products.
