Charities Grow With Green Solutions

RENO, Nev., July 21 /PRNewswire/ -- The sluggish economy, the Gulf Oil Crisis and even proposed tax law changes have created new challenges for non-profit and civic organizations already struggling for survival.   The new, green economy is providing opportunity not just for business but for the very survival of non-profits by tapping into the need to reduce, reuse and recycle.  A new program offered by eCycleBest (http://www.eCycleBest.com) provides a simple solution to fundraising while decreasing eWaste.

"Research shows that laptop computers and similar portable devices fail 10-15% in the first year and more than 30% by year four," states David Costa for eCycleBest.  "This is one of many reasons why business leaders plan to replace their laptops and smart phones every two to three years."  

Smart business leaders depreciate these portable devices quickly to keep pace with technology improvements, and keep staff productive.  This provides an opportunity to donate these devices that still have value to others.  The donated value is often more than the value to the donor.  But there is a problem.  Many times these devices end up in landfills.  Electronics contain many re-usable and valuable raw materials.  But improperly disposed of or illegally dumped, electronics can pose a serious risk to the environment.

"We polled many charitable and non-profit organizations," Costa continues. "Many of these organizations have found that businesses are less likely to provide the cash donations to the degree they have in a stronger economy.  Traditional fundraisers simply are also not working in this economy."

The eCycleBest Fundraiser Program offers a simple solution for everyone.  The business can donate their unwanted, unused or otherwise depreciated laptops and smart phones by recycling through eCycleBest.   Privacy of data is guaranteed.  All of the details of the donation are handled by eCycleBest.  Even shipping the devices to the recycling facility are at no cost to the donor or the participating charity.  The participating charity gets paid cash for each donated device and the donor is provided complete documentation for their tax professional.  

The charitable organization receives complete training and marketing assistance throughout the relationship and provides long term benefits to the charitable organization.  There is no charge for this promotional support.

"We know that we prosper, when we prosper others," says David Costa.  "Charitable organizations need our help.  This is fundraising, reinvented.  We know business wants to remain involved in the good works of these fine organizations.  This program keeps all of us involved in community solutions that work."

eCycleBest is a company involved in the reducing, reusing and recycling solutions for business.
