Next Step Recycling is a non-profit here in Eugene which provides individuals and groups the opportunity to learn about the impact electronic waste has on our environment and to provide technology to those who do not have access. Next Step works to provide technology and training to children and adults who have barriers to employment and education, while protecting our environment and community from hazardous waste.
Once a month Next Step Recycling comes to Garden Way and we are able to partner with Next Step by helping to make jewelry and notebooks which are sold at the Next Step reuse store. Also, our residents earn volunteer hours which they may use towards reverberated computers and other electronics. Our residents are currently working on setting up a program in which their hours could be used to help seniors going back to school get computers.
