Our Stories
Win, Win
It's a Win-Win situation! eCycle for Hope not only recycles your items (such as computers, monitors, printers, ink, toner, phones, batteries and more), but they will ensure that your products are recycled safely and remanufactured in the USA. Your cost? Just a donation of 5 cans of food or a donation of $5 given directly to a food pantry, such as MOM. What a great and creative way to support the community in more way than one.
