Update: Dell, Goodwill, announce recycling program
WINSTON-SALEM — Dell and three regional Goodwill centers launched a free computer drop-off program Wednesday.
Residents of 49 N.C. counties now can recycle old computers through “Reconnect,” a program that aims to divert more than 5 million pounds of computer equipment from landfills during the next year.
Consumers can take donations to 114 Goodwill Industries donation centers or stores in northwest, central and southern North Carolina and five S.C. counties. For a list, visit www.reconnectpartnership.com or call (866)-487-3873.
Donors should remove data from their equipment before delivering it to a donation center and should receive a receipt from Goodwill staff. All proceeds will go to Goodwill’s non-profit job-training and employment programs.
