>STAPLES STORES WILL TAKE OLD COMPUTERS
>FOR REUSE AND RECYCLING FEB. 17 & 18
>Staples, which operates more than 1,400 "superstores" for office
>supplies, will accept computer equipment for reuse and recycling at its
>stores nationwide this Sunday, February 17 and Monday, February 18
>(Presidents' Day).  Individuals and businesses can bring in their old
>computer equipment, including monitors and hard drives.  There is no
>charge for this service.  Through a partnership with Gifts in Kind
>International, computers will be refurbished and given to children's
>organizations in communities across the country.  Computers that are
>unable to be rebuilt "will be recycled responsibly to generate reusable
>materials," according to the press release.

>To find the locations of Staples stores, see their website at:
>http://www.staples.com   Click on "Find a Store" at the top.  If you
>click on "United States" and give your city or zip code, it will find
>the closest stores, and will give their address and phone number.  To
>confirm store hours and whether they will accept a certain type of
>computer equipment (especially anything unusual), people can call the
>store directly.

>
>People who bring in old computer equipment to Staples during this event
>can receive a $100 savings on a new computer with an Intel Pentium 4
>processor, or $20 off a purchase of $100 or more for other Staples
>products purchased during those two days.
