2006 Jerry Award Entry for
Licking County Computer
Society
Prize Use:
Continue to do community projects -teaching, recycling and refurbishing and
maybe send members to events.
Project Description:
Our society has been recycling computers for years but was only accepting
serviceable units. We needed a program to get rid of older computers. After much
research we found Trumbull County Correctional Center (OPI/TCI) in Warren , Ohio
that will accept all electronic equipment except TV’s for recycling at no
charge. Needing transportation for the 175-mile trip, we talked to a local
trucking co. (Browns Trucking) and they have given us a tractor-trailer semi and
a driver for all of our events. We set the events up every 6 months and had a
full load last time with a weight of 30,000 lbs. We’ve had great community
support and with the events we are able to promote our society within our
community.
