Recycling Old Computers

There is a new non-profit organization in Phoenicia called Reboot4U. What they do is take in any old computers you may have and provide them free, at low cost or in exchange for doing local volunteer work to people who otherwise could not afford them. They work with the library, the Boy Scouts, Head Start, senior residences and residents to distribute the computers they receive locally. They will also teach folks basic computer skills. They take in old machines, erase the hard drive and reformat it. Then they prepare it for it's new owner by installing new software and security systems and get it ready to go online. This new project has the added benefit of helping our planet by keeping old machines out of the landfills. Reboot4U is now serving Shandaken and Olive. So if you have gotten a new computer for the holidays consider donating the old one to this organization for recycling. You can contact them online at REBOOT4U.ORG@gmail.com or through their new website www.reboot4u.org.
