 ** The public: this provides an excellent opportunity for the colleges to strengthen their ties to the community by showing an interest in the environment and support for FG who not only has an environmental, but a social commitment
 *** Connecting with the public also creates a buzz amongst alumni who the school is always looking to for contributions.

Opportunity to give back to the community by supporting an organization that commits to recycle the electronics only if they can not be reused. Their equipment is probably reallly good, a lot will probaqbly be reused.
