The Federal Electronics Recycling and Reuse Challenge
 Issued By: OFEE - Effective Date: 10.20.2005, 146K, PDF
Abstract: This November 15th marks the eighth annual America Recycles Day (ARD), a day where all Americans are encouraged to do their part to support environmental stewardship by recycling and buying recycled content products. This year the Office of the Federal Environmental Executive (OFEE), the Federal Electronics Challenge (FEC), and signatory Agencies of the Federal Electronics Stewardship Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) are issuing a special challenge to encourage all Federal facilities to lead by example and recycle, or donate their used computers and other electronic equipment to local schools or Hurricanes Katrina and Rita relief efforts. To encourage Federal facilities and agencies to improve their used electronics management, OFEE, the FEC, and MOU Agency members will launch the Federal Electronics Recycling and Reuse Challenge. This program will begin on November 15, 2005, and conclude on Earth Day, April 22, 2006, where selected facilities will receive national recognition by the Federal Environmental Executive at an awards ceremony based on the amount of electronics recycled or donated during the five month period between ARD 2005 and Earth Day 2006.
