COMPUTER RECYCLING RESOURCES

The Environmental Partnership, an affiliate of Joint Venture: Silicon Valley
Network, is working to facilitate business equipment recycling and reuse by
providing information about centers that refurbish or recycle computers and
other equipment. 

On March 29, the organization held a focus group meeting of computer
manufacturers, recyclers, and users to obtain input on these efforts. The
list below is the outcome of that focus group session, and the beginning of a
comprehensive database being established by the Environmental Partnership to
encourage businesses to donate outdated computers and other equipment.

Announcements will follow in the coming months regarding this project and
distribution of the database. For more information, contact Linda Bagneschi
at 408-452-8674.
