Description:
Goodwill is committed to making sure that all computers and related electronics that have reached the end of their useful life are de-manufactured in an environmentally friendly manner, thus preventing unwanted hazardous materials from reaching our landfills. While Goodwill takes steps to verify erasure or destruction of data on storage devices, Goodwill assumes no responsibility for data.
It’s not just the environment that benefits. Proceeds from resale value of donations will be returned to Goodwill Industries to support their mission of creating job opportunities. Donated computers that are not suitable for sale in our Computer Works store are de-manufactured by individuals in our employment and training program who earn while they learn new skills and appropriate work behaviors. And it’s a tax deduction. All donations to Goodwill of items in good used condition or better are tax deductible.

made. The responsibility to care for Mother Earth belongs to us all. Whether it’s
recycling, using energy efficient appliances, eating local produce, or cutting back on
water usage, we can all do our part to help create a sustainable environment.
At Healthy Bottoms Diaper Service , we not only care about your baby, we also care deeply about our planet. We use high efficiency commercial washers and dryers to help
conserve energy and water, and do not use any harmful chemicals in our process. We try to use reusable, recycled or biodegradable products in everything we do, from our business cards to the bags we use to deliver diapers. We are committed to helping our environment in any way we can.
