Earth Day and Your Computer:

Well it is coming Earth Day and we are all being reminded about things we can do to help conserve or just be aware of the world around us. Let's think about that for a moment what can we do to help out?

You can do what one of our customers is doing, we won't mention names because we don't want to embarass anyone but this person is donating a computer to a neighbor, as well as all the software etc and I mean all. The neighbor is paying to have him reformatted and then the 'nice guy' is coming over to pick the machine up from us and then setting it up for the computer's new owner. We think that is pretty cool ourselves to help out a neighbor like that.

So, what does this mean to you and Earth Day? Well of course you already know that we at LTOL take drop offs of old computers as long as they are still working, running with a PIII or like chip and well that is about it. We clean them up, wipe the info all of them and then donate them to a local charity down in Reno called New to U/You Computers. This charity works with disadvantaged adults and either gives them a 'recycled' computer or they sell them in their shop to help raise money. We think this is a worthy cause and that is why we donate the computers down to them. We haven't had to charge for this service yet and we don't get anything for it with tax breaks or anything, we just don't want to see old computers wind up in the dumpster/landfill.

If you know of or you yourself are a charity that needs 'recycled' computers give us a call and we can see what we can do to assist you.

As a FYI Bradbury's accepts used printer cartridges at no charge so they can be recycled too. With a computer we should be doing all we can to not throw things away but recycle, recycle, recylce. If you have any questions about recylcing your old computer contatct us at: support@ltol.com or 530-582-2080
