About
Digital tools, more than ever, are key means to access education, and many today still struggle to receive adequate education due to the lack of necessary tools and supplies. As such, AmCham Shanghai and Netspring Green IT Programs are working together again on this year's E-waste Recycling Drive. Coinciding with International Earth Day, this annual event aims to collect and refurbish old, unused, and obsolete computers and other electric equipment so they can be made reusable and donated to schools and communities in need while also doing our part to preserve our planet's resources for future generations.
All members and non-members alike are welcome to donate and drop off obsolete and unused computers and electronic equipment on Friday, April 26, 2024, from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm at the AmCham Shanghai Suzhou Center office (Room 3006, 30F, Tower 1, Jinghope Plaza ), where participants will receive a certificate of appreciation.
All electronic items collected will support Netspring Green IT Programs; for more information, please contact them at contact@netspringworld.com.

Items which can be donated:
• Computers, laptops, and hard drives (all computers are welcome; those that still have a hard drive and a memory stick would make a greater impact)
• Monitors, keyboards, and computer mice
• Printers, scanners, and fax machines
• Cables, extension cords, adapters, USB sticks, plugs, and wires
• Cameras, mobile phones, etc.
• Other related electronic parts and accessories (except fluorescent tubes containing mercury)
Equipment list & contact information:
Please download the equipment handover list here and send the completed form to Ailva Tan at ailva.tan@amcham-shanghai.org no later than Friday, April 19. Make sure to bring 2 hard copies of the handover list with an official company seal to the AmCham Shanghai Suzhou Center office during the event on the drop-off date of April 26. If you wish to receive a certificate, please include the full name of the company you would like listed in the email.
Pick-up option:
Netspring can arrange for pick up at your office after April 26 if the number of electronic equipment you wish to donate exceeds 30.
We look forward to your participation!
