[DDN] Recycling in Montgomery County, Md.

[Walker, Danna]

DDN Community: FYI

CPCUG Project Reboot - an authorized computer recycler/refurbisher
licensed by Microsoft is a project of the CPCUG (Capital PC User's Group
and a 501-c-3).

CPCUG Project Reboot, a non-profit organization recognized by the Board
of Education for Distinguished Service to Public Education.
Project Reboot has closed the digital divide for hundreds of lower
income people in Montgomery County each year. Volunteers clean, repair,
and program donated computers. Mostly retirees, with many former
engineers, the volunteers are incredible, toiling away in a Santa's
workshop type setting or scavenging our County's dump to find spare
parts! Families pay just $5 for the cost of Reboot's agreement with
Microsoft to install its software. In the past two years, Project Reboot
has brought almost 400 computers to MCPS students and families, disabled
soldiers at Walter Reed and others.

CPCUG Project Reboot volunteers work with Community Ministries, MCPS,
Child Welfare, Linkages to Learning and many other Montgomery County
groups to distribute donated, refurbished computers to needy individuals
& families who have been referred by approved agencies.
Instead of ending up in our solid waste system, the computers find a
great new home.
CPCUG Project Reboot accepts Pentium II computers and higher, 15"+ color
monitors, plus inkjet or laser printers and unopened software.

Computers and equipment may be dropped off at 101 Fleet Street,
Rockville.

CPCUG Project Reboot is open most (non-holidays) Mondays (2:00 to 6:00
PM) and Wednesdays (10:00 AM to 4:00 PM).
