Feb 7 - OR - Oregon's E-Cycles Program Makes Big Gains in 2010

The Oregon E-Cycles Program collected and recycled more than 24 million pounds of computers, monitors and televisions in 2010 – a 27 percent jump over the program’s first year.  The amount translates to 6.3 pounds-per-capita and exceeded 2009’s total of 19 million pounds collected.
