Gather4Green is dedicated to providing significant funding for schools and non-profit organizations while helping stop e-waste, the fastest growing pollution stream in the U.S. Millions of cell phones, laptops, gaming consoles, games and other electronic items sit unused in homes waiting to be gathered. In fact, about 70% of consumers stockpile used electronics in their homes. Schools, community groups and other not-for-profit organizations partner with us to help stop these devices from becoming highly toxic trash. Schools & community groups can raise up to $10K in focused one-week "gathering" campaign. We provide support like no other organization. Students, schools, non-profit organizations benefit in many ways: Gather4Green works DIRECTLY with groups THROUGHOUT campaigns. No selling! This is a great relief to group members, students, parents, teachers, and school administrators. Participation rates are 20%-30% higher when compared with traditional fundraising product sales. Simple process for everyone - - group members, teachers, volunteers, parents, community supporters: o no $$ collection o no product deliveries o no product dissatisfaction The service to communities is valued. E-waste will grow to 40 to 70 million tons per year by 2015. More than 80% of electronic devices are trashed, & equals 70% of all toxic waste.
