In an effort to keep computer waste out of landfills the Iowa Lakes Resource Conservation & Development (RC&D) created a computer recycling program in 2005.  Computers can be delivered to our Spencer location.  There is no charge for Pentium IV CPUs and greater in working order.  These Pentium IVs and greater are then refurbished for donation to non-profits or resale for a very reasonable price.  The computer sales help the non-profit RC&D board subsidize the recycling program.  All other computer waste is processed through various recyclers.  Each year between 15 and 30 tons of computer waste is recycled through this program.  If you are interested in using the computer recycling program contact the Iowa Lakes RC&D office at 712-262-2083 or iowalakesrcd@iowalakesrcd.org.
