Dell, Goodwill, and Mavidea Technology Group Host Computer Recycling Event for Community

April 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Bloomington, IL – April 11th, 2011 - Mavidea Technology Group, LLC (Mavidea), a local business that offers IT Consulting, Web Design and Marketing Services in Illinois and throughout the US, today announced their second annual Recycling IT event. They are partnering with Dell and Goodwill to provide proper recycling for computer hardware for the Bloomington community.

The Recycle IT event was created to give the community a chance to safely recycle their old computer hardware. "People know that they need to take special precautions to make sure electronics are recycled correctly, but have not had a great outlet to get rid of old computer equipment before. Last year, we were shocked to see what people pulled out of the dark corners of their basements to bring us: 33,000 pounds in 1 day! We’re just very happy we can partner with Goodwill to make sure this equipment is recycled properly” says Jamie Mathy, Mavidea’s Chief Technology Officer.

At the event, people can drop off their old computer hardware and Goodwill’s recycling program will collect the computer hardware to be refurbished if possible or properly recycled. Part of the program involves wiping all hard drives before refurbishing or recycling – this action is closely monitored. The event will be held outside of Mavidea’s offices in the Fox & Hounds parking lot, on Saturday, April 30th from 10 – 3pm. Mavidea is located at 200 West Monroe St. – food will be provided for those who drop off computer hardware.

The following computer hardware will be collected; anything not on this list will not be accepted:
•   Computers (desktops and laptops)
•   Printers (laser and inkjet)
•   Monitors
•   Keyboards and mice
•   Scanners
•   Cords and cables
•   Computer speakers
•   Hard drives
•   Software
•   Ink and toner cartridges
•   Zune and Xbox
