Stewardship

As responsible environmental stewards, our roles in Electronic Waste (eWaste) program cycle are:

Pursuing standard plans, contracts, and premium services dealing with covered and other unwanted technology or electronic products.

Implementing services, between eWaste clients, processors, recyclers, transporters, retailers (intended for re-use), businesses (including small and large manufacturers), and household collection services.

Facilitating eWaste management ideas between donators, volunteers, businesses, and locations.

E-Waste reality, we help make solutions happen: Connecting the pieces, Creating the events. Sharing in the responsibility.

Our staff, volunteer, and business network is ready, willing, and available to create solutions to your eWaste concerns.
