Recycled computers are given new life - Alice Stover, the Bonanza
In the state of Nevada approximately 30,000 computers are thrown in the trash each year. Computer Corps, a Carson City-based nonprofit organization sees this as a valuable community resource. The Computer Corps mission is to provide access to computer technology and skills training for under-served families, while eliminating electronic waste in our nation's landfills. At Computer Corps' warehouse, electronic waste such as computers, monitors, printers, and faxes, otherwise destined for a landfill, are repaired or broken down for reusable parts.
