[Hidden-tech] Electronics Recycling in Easthampton/Northampton area on May 5th

[Laura Radwell]

Hello Dave, 

I was made aware this morning of the planned computer recycling day that is scheduled for May 5, 2012 at the Transfer Sation located at 245 Easthampton Road in Northampton. 

I ask the following questions as both an environmentally-aware, concerned citizen and as another addition to a
long list of citizens overburdened by too much obsolete technology:

Who is the company that will be handling the recycling, and have they been transparent in their end-to-end methods. 

There are many companies who presently front as green recycling companies when in fact many times these same companies are simply shipping containers full of out toxic techno garbage to villages in China and Africa.

Are you willing to share information about the company and about who will be conducting the recycling?

Thanks,
