Mark your calendars for an exciting opportunity to give back and help the environment and Veterans! On Wednesday, November 13, from 11 AM to 2 PM, the FAAR Technology & Communications Committee is hosting an Electronics Recycling Drive at the FAAR office in partnership with Tech For Troops.
This initiative allows you to responsibly recycle old electronics, giving them a second life by refurbishing them for America’s Active Duty Transitioning Military, Homeless, and under-resourced Veterans and their families. Instead of letting your used tech collect dust or add to landfills, donate it to a cause that will help Veterans build a better future.
Why Participate?
- Extend the Life of Your Electronics: Don’t let your tech go to waste! Tech for Troops gives new purpose to your gadgets by refurbishing and gifting them to Veterans in need.
- Help Veterans: Your donation directly supports transitioning military personnel and veterans seeking to improve their quality of life through technology.
- Protect the Environment: Recycling electronics reduces the environmental impact of e-waste. This drive ensures that electronics are responsibly handled rather than contributing to landfill waste.

- ✅ Laptops (with power adapters)
