[Tfug] Mower stuph fur sail

[Don Freeman]

Where does one go to view the Worldcare showroom? I assume they have one. Is
it open on Sat.?

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!
