WorldCare refurbishes anything that it can for
"re-use" (typically, given to schools, needy
children, other charities, etc.).

Anything that can't be readily refurbished is
recycled.  I.e., the goal here is to get things
back into use -- either "intact" or, if necessary,
by a more circuitous route through our "partner"
recyclers, etc.

We don't want it ending up in a landfill since that's
a losing proposition.  :-(
 
Note that this applies to computers, electronic
goods, clothing, office furniture, medical supplies,
etc.  Reuse or recycle.  *Someone* can usually
make use of the things that folks would otherwise
"discard"  :-/

Give yourself an extra few minutes and look around
to get a feel for how *big* of an operation this is.
I think the facility is ~30,000 sq ft!

Thanks!
