RECYCLE YOUR ELECTRONICS AND HELP MIAMI SCHOOLS AT FRIDAY’S HEAT GAME Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) has joined together with local IT forces, TECKpert and PREEMO for the Recycle-IT campaign to provide the community with a simple method to dispose of used electronic goods and benefit schools. To support M-DCPS’ recycling efforts, American Airlines Arena will collect used electronic goods on April 13, 2012 from 6 – 10 a.m. Recycle-IT provides benefits to the school system by recycling electronic goods and donating the funds to M-DCPS. Patrons who drop off used electronics at the Arena will receive Miami HEAT flags while supplies last in exchange for their small used electronic goods. HEAT fans are also welcome to bring small, used electronics to the Arena during the Charlotte Bobcats vs. HEAT game, which begins at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 13. The campaign benefits The Foundation for New Education Initiatives, Inc., a non-profit entity that enhances student achievement and community engagement in support of The Parent Academy and other educational initiatives of M-DCPS. Supporting the Foundation’s recently launched campaign, “Bringing Wireless to the Classroom”, Recycle-IT acts as a clearinghouse for implementing technology in our public schools’ classrooms. For drop box locations, or to schedule a pick-up of your unwanted electronic goods, please visit www.recycleitmiami.com.
