They accept electronics, computer, and similar items – both from households and from businesses – primarily for free. (They charge $20 per monitor or TV screen, but everything else is recycled at no charge to the contributor.) They are certified as responsible recyclers, including proper data-destruction on computer items.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’ve donated my own unsellable items to them in the past. As individuals and clubs consider what to do with unwanted items before and after the coming hamfest – I mean, “Expo” – I urge them to take the extra step to ensure disposal of the items. This is not just the environmentally and legally responsible thing to do, but it supports a good local business and recycles valuable resources into the next generation of technology.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#385623'>Kevin Nortrup, CSEP, CPHIMS, LSSGB, FHIMSS -- </span></i><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#385623'>N9NHL<i><o:p></o:p></i></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#385623'>Sugar Creek Solutions LLC<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.sugarcreeksolutions.com/">www.sugarcreeksolutions.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
