27 Apr 09 2,000 Cubic Feet of Computers and Mobile Phones Collected by eRecycle

You have to wonder how large or how deep is 1 cubic feet. More so, imagine measuring 2,000 cubic feet of used computers and mobile phones. Those are quite large numbers of technological equipment that will be recycled for other uses.

Oklahoma citizens and businesses donated more than 2,000 cubic square feet of used computer equipment and used cell phones during the recent eRecycling event at the Oklahoma state capital on April 22. Equipment collected from the eRecycling event was donated to the AMBUCS share4Life Komputers Project and Cell Phones for Soldiers.

The donations will generate at least 150 refurbished computers for disabled Oklahomans and over 11,500 minutes in talk time for Oklahoma soldiers in the Middle East.

The eRecycle event was sponsored by GoGreen.OK.gov: an OK.gov initiative showcasing how Oklahoma eGovernment is helping to reduce the carbon footprint by reducing paper consumption and citizen travel to government facilities. According to a study available on http://www.gogreen.ok.gov, the state of Oklahoma has reduced paper consumption by over 35.9 million sheets of paper through the use of online government services.
