Waste Reduction Week, Oct 16 – 22, 2006
CompuCorps is a registered charity that operates reBOOT Ottawa. We champion computer reuse by collecting, refurbishing and distributing computers to those in need as identified by other charities in the Ottawa region. Recipients include low income and new Canadians. We are part of the national reBOOT Canada network. During Waste Reduction Week, Oct 17 – 21, we will be promoting computer reuse and providing information to companies on the environmental, community and corporate benefits of keeping surplus computers out of landfills or saving them from destruction. ReBOOT ottawa will be accepting computer donations of Pentium 4 desktops and laptops from companies and will be providing full market value tax receipts. Subject to space, we will be accepting Pentium 3 computers and monitors. Pentium 2 computers and below will incure a service handling fee.
For Pentium 4 computers that companies donate we will provide a certificate of appreciation by level and will be organizing a tree planting event in the Spring of 2007 with volunteers from those companies participating during the week.
