Electronic Scrap

We are going to put more emphasis on the collection and recycling of electronic scrap. This area has worked out well for us, and we can be a great benefit for people who need to get rid of these items (e.g. old computers, phones, pda's, laptops, stereos, etc...). Regretfully, we cannot accept CRT TV's. We can accept everything in the TV's except the actual Cathode Ray Tube. For environmental reasons these would have to be recycled differently.

Government Grants

Starting in 2011, and moving forward, we will not seek government grants. We are firm in believing that the national debt of the United States is too high, and we do not want to contribute to this problem. If we can't be a part of the solution then at least we can do our best to not make the situation worse.

A New Year of Challenges

Looking back at 2010, we did not have as much success as we hoped for, however we will keep pushing to improve. We had very good success dealing with scrap electronics, and we will work more in this area to get items like circuit boards, computer parts, etc... recycled. An added challenge for this year will be running our organization on a part-time basis. There will be schedule conflicts, and regretfully Recycling for Food will have to take second place to full-time jobs. This may hurt our mission, but overall it is a necessary step in moving forward.
