Almost everyone has an old computer, fax machine, batteries, or cell phones lying around the home. And almost everyone knows those items are supposed to be recycled and not put directly into the rubbish. But have you tried to recycle the items? It can be a daunting process and one you don't want to repeat many times. 
That’s where the College Hill Neighborhood Association in conjunction with Hope High School’s “Project NEED” has stepped in to assist. This Saturday's program you can drop off those electronic devices in the parking lot on Olney Street just off of Hope Street. On hand will be Metech Recycling to collect the products and securely begin their journey to new products. Privacy and identity is one of the major concerns we all have when it comes to recycling computers and cell phones. What happens to my data on the machine? Can some identity thief purchase the items and then syphon off the critical data? That’s why Metech Recycling is helping in this event. They are an expert at removing and shredding that data before the old equipment gets into the wrong hands. It can be done, and they are a Certified e-Stewards® Recycler. NEED (which stands for National Energy Educational Development project) designs and delivers curriculum and support for virtually any classroom and at any grade level. It is a 30 year old program growing from the National Energy Education Day, started by a joint congressional resolution during the Carter presidency. Residential Properties is supporting this effort through our Providence and Cumberland offices and Leslie Kellogg, an agent in the providence office, is leading the charge as a member of the CHNA. Please contact her if you have questions.
