A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for institution-generated materials:
Workforce Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization that helps ex-ooffenders transition back into the community through job training and important practical support, such as housing and legal assistance. Through the process of de-manufacturing computers, then packing and shipping the resulting e-waste, participants learn to use a variety of tools, pack/weight materials, solve problems, load/unload trucks and pallets, as well as how to safely operate machinery such as forklifts and balers.
Despite its title, the program recycles much more than just computers. More information about other electronics is available on the website.
