1. Campus Crest Donates the Dead
Electronics recycling is important to decrease contamination of our landfills, while also maximizing the reuse
of non-renewable resources. Unfortunately, electronics recycling is generally not easy to do, and the
importance is often unknown.
To increase awareness, The Grove properties and Campus Crest Corporate
participated in the first annual Donate the Dead E-waste Drive, collecting
994 items, ranging from cellphones, receivers, remote controls, and
computers.
Once the competition was over, each property manager contacted their
local recycling center to properly salvage these goods. This winner of this
educational event was The Grove Moscow property, located in Moscow,
Idaho.
“We seek to decrease toxic materials in landfills and maximize
reuse/recycling of non-renewable resources,” said Ted Rollins, co-founder
and CEO of Campus Crest Communities. “From a social perspective, we
want to inform residents about the importance of electronics recycling and
tangible ways to properly dispose of these items at the end of their useful
life.”
