We're a day away from our next Event, scheduled for January 23 at the Elks Lodge in Thousand Oaks. Have a number of pick-ups set up for tomorrow, to add to our first one at a local PC shop. We also received a donation from a local waste management comopany, and as I said we'll be traveling to a number of businesses tomorrow to pick up servers, monitors, TVs, and more.
This is one of the things that sets us apart from other e-waste handlers and recyclers. Rather than just set a date for an Event, send a truck, and hope for a good turnout, we use our 30 years of sales, marketing and advertising experience to generate large donations ahead of time. Done correctly, this can add a substantial amount of weight (and therefore $$$) to the final tally.
We also actively coordinate with the fundraising "point person" for several weeks leading up to the Event, helping them with everything from coordinating pick-ups to recruiting volunteers. We regard each Event as a team effort; we want to help each group have the most successful fundraiser they've ever experienced.
I'll post some pix and provide an update here with Event results.
