On July 30, student-led nonprofit Recirqt is partnering with Surplus Service for e-waste management, the Fremont Education Foundation and Alameda County Supervisor David Haubert’s office to host a community E-Waste Collection to repurpose old electronics and give back to the community.
The event will include an electronics drop-off at Surplus Service, complimentary hot dogs, drinks and information tables detailing Recirqt’s refurbishing process along with how they redistribute electronics to students in need. Devices in working condition will be securely wiped, repaired and donated to Fremont Education Foundation for redistribution. Surplus Service will securely recycle any devices that are no longer usable.
Recirqt, founded to bridge the digital divide by repurposing electronics, works to divert e-waste from landfills while empowering under-resourced students. Surplus Service, an ISO/R2v3 certified e-waste recycler awarded California’s highest sustainability award, brings years of experience in secure, environmentally responsible reuse technology
Locals can drop off surplus electronics like computers, phones, projectors and more, without even leaving their car!
Families are invited to bring their curious kids to see what a computer looks like on the inside. Recirqt will have units open and meet with students to explain how a computer processes with hands on the inside of computers and laptops. Snacks, small bites and drinks provided.
