Learning Academy Students Plan Computer Recycling Event
Area residents wishing to dispose of computers and other used equipment will have an opportunity to donate them at a computer recycling event planned by students at the John G. Conyers Learning Academy in Rolling Meadows. The one-day recycling project is set for March 11 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Assistive Technology Exchange Network (ATEN) of United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Chicago will collect the donated items. ATEN refurbishes unneeded computers and provides the newly refurbished equipment free to Illinois students with disabilities. The goal is to increase disabled students’ access to computers and assistive technology. The program not only benefits students who receive the systems, but also is environmentally beneficial because it reduces the amount of waste, including toxic elements, that might otherwise be deposited in landfills.
