YORK, Pa. — Members of the Penn State York community are invited to bring their unwanted electronics to the Multi-Activity Court (MAC) in the Joe and Rosie Ruhl Student Community Center on Monday, April 24 from noon to 1 p.m. for the first-ever Students for Computer Recycling to Outfit Underrepresented Groups in Education (SCROUNGE) Earth Day event.
What is the SCROUNGE Earth Day event?
On Earth Day, SCROUNGE will encourage participants to socialize, eat some pizza, and learn how to properly recycle their old electronics.
Ean Dudley, SCROUNGE president explained, “During the Earth Day event, participants will get an opportunity to get hands-on with the process of recycling electronics — specifically computers — to better understand the process that SCROUNGE goes through to prepare these computers for recycling. Participants can also learn about how electronics waste impacts our world and they’ll be empowered to make a difference.”
Penn State York’s Cybersecurity Club, one of the newest clubs on campus, has partnered with SCROUNGE to make this event possible. Participants will have the opportunity to meet the leadership and current members of these clubs and learn how they can get involved. Finally, individuals in the Penn State York community will have a chance to bring in their own electronic waste and SCROUNGE will recycle it for them.
