Going Green at 1515 & 1555 Poydras!




Please join us in our first E-Recycling Event!

1515 Poydras - Wednesday, November 30th

1555 Poydras - Thursday, December 1st


Do you have an old computer gathering dust? PCs, monitors, and other electronics contain hazardous wastes such as barium, beryllium, phosphorus, lead and many other hazardous chemicals. It is important to keep these hazardous chemicals out of our landfills where they can leach into the groundwater. When you recycle, these products are reused to the degree possible, and that is good for the environment.
The following equipment will be accepted: computers, monitors, printers, speakers, power cords, keyboards, mice, VGA cables, other cords/cables, VHS players, DVD players, stereo equipment, CD players, phone systems, cell phones, video game systems (Xbox, Playstation, etc.) and anything with a circuit board. NO televisions, copiers or appliances.

A table will be set up in the Main Lobby on the appropriate day for someone from your office to come down and sign up for the removal services.  CACRC will then come up to your office and bring the recyclable items down to the loading dock for you. 
All hard drives are wiped clean whether it is requested or not to the national standards. If hard drives are inoperable, they will be physically destroyed. Certificates of Destruction are available upon request for your donation. 

There will be a $5.00 per CRT monitor and a $3.00 fee for printer/fax machines.  These costs will be billed directly to your office.

Do something good for your Business and the Environment!
