Recycling donation

Hello there! My name is Melissa. I'm a 21 year old female living in Mobile, Alabama. I'm a mother of one beautiful 3 year old girl, an acoustic songwriter/musician, and I have the biggest heart for saving the planet of unwanted waste from PCs and electronics in landfills. The EPA estimates that 75 percent of our waste is recyclable. Recycling is the process of taking a product at the end of its useful life and using it to make another product. The symbol for recycling includes three arrows moving in a triangle. Each arrow represents a different part of the recycling process, from collection to re-manufacture to resale. Recycling reduces our waste sent to landfills and reduces the amount of energy needed to produce new products.

Recycling serves two key purposes:

1. It keeps material such as aluminum and paper out of landfills, so this material can be reused in other forms, not wasted.
2. It prevents hazardous materials and chemicals such as mercury and lead from ending up in landfills, which can contaminate soil and seep into our drinking water.

Please donate to this cause and read below!

The donation will be used to fund a recycling operation which collects obsolete electronics and computer equipment, for re-purposing and recycling. A breakdown of the budget is as follows:

$1000 - Licensing and incorporation fees
$3000 - Purchase of a used work van
$2000 - Two-months rent for a warehouse
$2000 - Initial shipping and export costs
$1000 - Electronics repair workstation
$1000 - Data scrubbing work stations
$1000 - Hosting and communication expenses
$1000 - Miscellaneous tools and supplies
$1000 - Gasoline and other energy expenses
$1000 - Initial marketing and promotion
$4000 - Part-time employment opportunities

Any additional or unused donations will be allocated to areas which benefit from increased funding, such as workstation upgrades, and community recycling awareness.

So if you were planning to do a good deed soon... donate to this cause. Not only would you be helping to start a recycling company but you will be saving our planet from tons of unnecessary waste.

Thank you!
