More than 3.2 million tons of electronic waste is piled into U.S. landfills each year. At the same time, budgets at schools are being slashed across the board. To help with these issues, FundingFactory is expanding its list of electronics that organizations can recycle in return for funding. FundingFactory program participants can now exchange small electronics such as digital cameras, MP3 players, and GPS systems for cash or points redeemable for new technology. The new qualifying items join inkjet cartridges, cell phones and laser cartridges as items accepted as part of the FundingFactory program.
