ACHD & Project KOPEG Recycle Cell Phones and Donate Over $2700 to the Idaho Veterans Assistance League

The Ada County Highway District recently upgraded their cellular phone service which left them with a pile of electronic waste to dispose of.  They contacted Project KOPEG, a Boise company that recycles cell phones, ink cartridges, computers and other e-waste to benefit charities, schools and other non-profits.  Recycling the cell phones netted over $2700 which they donated to the Idaho Veterans Assistance League.

“Project KOPEG made it easy to accomplish two very rewarding actions; we ensured that harmful materials were kept out of our environment and were able to designate the proceeds to a very worthy organization, the Idaho Veterans Assistance League”, says Dennis Alloway of the Ada County Highway District.
