Earth Day Donations of “E-Waste” Benefit LADACIN
What better way to celebrate Earth Day than by helping to save the environment and donate to a worthy cause at the same time. Employees from SAMR (Supreme Asset Management and Recovery), an e-waste recycling and remarketing company, and volunteers from LADACIN Network, a nonprofit organization that provides education, therapy, social, residential, and support services for people with cerebral palsy and other physical disabilities, were on hand to accept no-longer-used electronics and $5.00 donations for LADACIN Network and the Lehmann School in Lakewood during an Earth Day recycling event and fundraiser sponsored by SAMR.
Because of the generosity of people who donated their electronics and $5.00 per car load of electronics, Kirsten Difenderfer, the director of customer service for SAMR, presented a check to Patricia Carlesimo, executive director of the Schroth School and Technical Education Center, and Luisa Vroman, Director of Development for LADACIN, with a check for $512.00 matched by Al Boufarah, president of SAMR.
Luisa Vroman said, “It was so thoughtful of SAMR to include us in their recycling event in recognition of Earth Day 2008. The staff of LADACIN plans to use the money to purchase a video camera to tape school shows, therapy, and special events, such as graduation.”
SAMR, located at 1950 Rutgers University Boulevard, Lakewood, holds two recycling events each year for private citizens. Charles McFadden, vice president of operations at SAMR, says, “Our goal is to keep e-waste and all the toxic elements they contain from going into landfills. Most people are not aware that monitors and televisions alone contain three to five pounds of lead.”
For further information, call Brianne Douglas, director of asset management, at 732-97-8177.
SAMR (Supreme Asset Management & Recovery), Lakewood, N.J., is the largest fully licensed American IT asset management company on the East Coast and the largest CRT glass-to-glass recycler in the country, providing disposal solutions for IT and guaranteed security for corporations and businesses. SAMR is a leader in the recycling and remarketing of electronics, and guarantees a zero landfill policy.
