[NPMUG] How much work has been done at Goodwill in 2009 so far ?

[Dave Sevick]

According to our carefully kept database:

We handled 2,188 pieces of used computer equipment at the South Side  
location this year.

1,133 misc items ( keyboards, mice, zip drives, etc ) and went for  
resale in the store.
344 computers were refurbished and went for resale in the store.
710 items were de-manufactured for proper eWaste disposal.


The total weight of all handled items was 23,264 lbs.  This is  
significant,  as most recyclers measure work in poundage.  We began  
doing this weight tracking Jan 1, 2009 ...   :-)


The overall sales value of the items we sent to the Goodwill computer  
store for sale ( not de-manufactured items that are down-streamed )  
for Jan 1 - June 30, 2009 = $54,947
