Cerebral Palsy of Colorado Celebrates Earth Day 2005
by Recycling Laptop Computers, PDA’s, Cell Phones and Laser & Ink Jet
CartridgesDENVER, March 05 — Cerebral Palsy of Colorado will be collecting Laptop
Computers, PDA’s (Blackberry’s, Smartphones, Palm’s, etc.), Cell Phones and
Laser & Ink Jet Cartridges in honor of Earth Day, April 22, 2005.Liz Neafus-Stenzel, Director of Development, Marketing and Public Relations
for Cerebral Palsy of Colorado asks “all Coloradoans to not store or throw away
old cell phones and electronics equipment. These items contain a number of toxic
chemicals, which have been associated with cancer and a range of reproductive,
neurological and development disorders. They must be safely recycled. Last year
alone, over 275 million cartridges and 30 million cell phones were tossed into
our already cluttered landfills, where they may leak chemicals. If there were a
way for us to recycle all computers, we would do it, but, at least, we can keep
laptop computers, PDA’s, cell phones and laser & ink jet cartridges out of
the landfills.”This program will be ongoing, no ending date. For pick up of laptop
computers, PDA’s, cell phones and laser & ink jet cartridges, please contact
Ray Zielke at Cartridges for Kids, (800) 420-0235, REZ@accessftc.com. Every cent
of every dollar raised through this recycling program goes directly to fund new
wheelchair accessible playground equipment for Cerebral Palsy of Colorado’s
Creative Options Early Education Centers. Donations are tax deductible to the
full extent of the law. Please consult your tax advisor.DID YOU KNOW? CP of Colorado provides early care & education, employment
and statewide family support services for “at risk” Coloradoans with a wide
variety of physical, mental health, and neurological challenges as well as
Cerebral Palsy. Please know that donations are judiciously administered with
ninety cents of every dollar going directly into critical programs and services.
