MIC Total Recycle, Beaverton Education Foundation
We are fortunate to be partnered with Beaverton Education Foundation.
To support our education projects we recycle e-waste. We focus on recycling e-waste as a fund raiser because of the amount of energy that can be saved preventing electronics from ending up in our land fills.
The MIC Total Recycle are working to stop e-waste from entering our landfills. For ever ton of e-waste recycled we prevent 4 tons of carbon from entering the atmosphere while saving thousands of kilowatts of power that would have been used processing salvaged materials from recycled items instead of processing virgin materials out of the ground. The Beaverton Education Foundation Of Oregon with MIC Total Recycle teaches them marketable job skills in the Computer field.
MIC training program teaches Youth Group how to deconstruct and rebuild Computers how to install Operating Systems, device drivers, system software, and Updates thus extending the life of computers keeping them from becoming landfill. Youth Group learn skills that will provide them living wage job opportunities while helping Protect our environment. This project is a win/win for every one. When the project is fully operational we intend to employ up to 80 individuals, most of whom will be need job.
Working with us on our mission are SOLV, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, the City of Forest Grove, Multnomah County Community Corrections, Department, Homeless Veterans Reintegration Project, Veterans of Foreign Wars.
