Purpose Of Funds
Outstanding Renewal Enterprises, Inc. (ORE) is requesting funds for its electronic waste (‘e-waste’) recycling program to hold collection events in CD #3 and also to initiate a city-wide computer reuse program. In FY09, ORE held 16 collection events throughout NYC, with 3 of them in CD #3 and demand for the program is growing. ORE spent $40,000 on its computer recycling program in 2008. Residents of every age and race are served by the electronic waste (‘e-waste’) recycling program. ORE offers e-waste collection events in several neighborhoods. The events are accessible to all because they are free to residents and move to various to parts of NYC. Additionally, the permanent drop-off site will serve residents by collecting more e-waste and making re-furbished computers available to low-income households. The populations served by the program will be primarily geographically based – the locations of collection events are determined by support from local legislators, businesses, and community organizations. The location of the drop-off site will be determined by space availability and other logistical considerations and, in large part, by support from local legislators.
