[wplug] EcoFest @ WSCC: Free Environmentally Safe Electronics collection and disposal in your neighborhood!

[Beth Lynn Eicher]

Wilkins School Community Center to host EcoFest on 10/10.
7604 Charleston Ave Pittsburgh, PA 15218

This does not conflict with
Central PA Open Source Con October 17 http://www.cposc.org/
Ontario LinuxFest October 24 http://onlinux.ca/

Since this is the first I'm hearing about this I don't know if WPLUG could
be involved in helping with this event beyond spreading the word with this
post.

I do know that Goodwill Pittsburgh has been known to deploy Ubuntu on the
better systems were licensing of other operating systems could not be
verified. This is a worthwhile mission regardless. Therefore, as an
individual, I will contact Goodwill to see if there's any way I can help.

Sincerely,
Beth Lynn Eicher

*Hello Everyone,*
*
*
*I just want to make sure as many people as possible know about this. And
you don't want to find out afterwards! If you are in need of electronics
disposal and want to make sure it is done in an environmentally proper way,
at no cost to you, look no further. The Wilkins School Community Center and
Goodwill Industries will have a collections site at the center from 10am
until 2pm on Saturday Oct 10th. Goodwill guarantees all parts and pieces are
reused if possible, or sold for scrap, or properly disposed of. Hard Drives
can be destroyed at your request. Nothing is shipped overseas, nothing is
illegally dumped. This program enables Goodwill to employ those with
disabilities and provide them with a supportive work environment.*
*
*
*There will be many more activities as part of the day, the third annual
EcoFest. And Marge will be making her soups again!*
*
*
*Please send this email to anyone you wish, including businesses. *
*
*
*Thank you.*
*
*
*Patty*
