[Schools] Schools unload unwanted computers for recycling A multi-agency, collaborative effort designed to allow local and area schools to dispose of their old computers for free was hosted Wednesday afternoon with thousands of old electronic parts collected for recycling. The collection event was sponsored by the Washington County Office of Environmental Affairs, the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality, the city of Fayetteville and the Tri-County Solid Waste District, which covers Benton, Washington and Madison counties.

Mak leaned in and solemnly penned his name on a pledge card, documenting his promise to recycle cans, plastic bottles and paper whenever he uses them and whenever and wherever he finds them. The school’s Recycling Club prompted the promise made by Mak and hundreds of his classmates when it kicked off its partnership with Connexus Energy and Minnesota Waste Wise to promote recycling awareness and activity.
