Two Brothers Scrap Metal donated the use of a container for Mineola Middle School’s eWaste Drive, which was held on October 26. The drive brought in 8,140 pounds of electronic waste that would have otherwise made its way into local landfills. Residents came to the school to drop off their unwanted and unused computers, hard drives, printers, flatscreen TVs, chargers and other items.
The purpose of the drive, now in its fourth year, is to help the environment by disposing electronics that are either no longer being used or do not work anymore. The event began as a project initiated by the school’s Robotics Club. Last year, the Robotics Club teamed up with the school’s Environmental Club to promote the Drive to the local community.
Two Brothers has participated in the eWaste Drive for the past three years. During that time, Two Brothers has hauled away 22,040 pounds – more than 11 tons – of electronic waste.
