Well done, Hampton Roads. Officials with the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center have announced that 28 tons of old computers, TVs, and other electronic waste was collected at the aquarium's recent e-cycling event. Three dozen volunteers, including many from the Navy, GEICO, and the Shadowlawn Civic League, filled four trailers with old electronics, which will be diverted from landfills back into the economy.
The aquarium has been holding these events since 2009. In that time, more than 120 tons of e-waste have been spared from the garbage dump.
Remember, e-cycling is available all year round at your local Best Buy or Goodwill store.
