They say you should never bring your work home with you. But last week, we invited employees in our Irving, Texas facility to bring their home to work. Well, not everything just their old electronic equipment. We wanted to offer our employees a convenient and eco-friendly way to dispose of and recycle their personal electronics. It was a great success. More than 3,000 pounds of materials were collected (that's heavier than a Prius).
