Hollins University E-Waste Recycling Event Nov 6-8

Hollins to Host Second E-Waste Recycling Event November 6 - 8

for more information: go here

Hollins University is once again providing businesses, schools and households in western Virginia the opportunity to recycle their old computers, televisions, cell phones, and other electronic devices at no cost during the second annual Hollins E-Waste Recycling Event.Companies, colleges, and public and private schools are invited to bring their end-of-life electronics to the Hollins campus on Thursday and Friday, November 6 and 7, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.

The general public is encouraged to look through their closets, attics or basements and bring old equipment to Hollins on Saturday, November 8, also from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Hollins University President Nancy Gray says the community’s enthusiastic response to last year’s event combined with a significant number of subsequent requests from businesses and individuals for more e-waste collection days convinced organizers that another event should be held."

Last year, Hollins far surpassed its goal of recycling 200,000 pounds of e-waste by collecting 831,579 pounds of old computers, TVs, VCRs, and other items in partnership with three other Virginia universities," Gray says. "

Since then, we’ve received countless phone calls and e-mails from people wanting to know when we plan to do this again, so we are excited to once more offer an opportunity for the community to safely and responsibly recycle their e-waste."Renee Godard, professor of biology at Hollins and one of the leaders of this initiative, notes that e-waste recycling events such as this are playing a major role in addressing one of the world’s most serious environmental crises."

Toxic materials such as lead, mercury, chlorine and bromine are commonly used in electronics, and if these devices are dumped into solid waste systems, the toxins can seep from landfills into groundwater or be released by incinerator emissions or ash."She adds that hazardous e-waste is often sent to China, India and Pakistan for recycling, but once there it often is simply discarded.

Even if recycling occurs, the process used in those countries is dangerous to workers and pollutes the environment."The e-waste we collect will again this year be transported to a recycling facility in the U.S. that processes material on-site instead of sending it to developing countries with differing views on worker health and safety," explains Greg Henderson, Hollins’ director of information technology support.

Materials that will be accepted at the Hollins E-Waste Recycling Event include:
Central Processing Units (CPUs)
Printers and Scanners
Computer Mice
Keyboards
Laptop/Notebook Computers
Computer Monitors and Speakers
Cell Phones, Pagers and PDAs
Routers, Servers, Software, Switches
Televisions and VCRs
Stereos and Tape Players
Game Systems
Facsimile (Fax) Machines
Cameras and Camcorders
Appliances, non-computer batteries, and equipment contaminated by chemical or biological agents will not be accepted.

Antique Wrought Iron Driveway Gates

A few years back, we imported a treasure trove of Antique Wrought Iron from Egypt... over 200 tons in all...

We believe it came mainly from Cairo, where there was a French Quarter that was recently renovated.

The iron is very high quality - nearly 100-200 years old and it will surely last at least another 100 years.

Our skilled craftsman continue to create beautiful items from this imported iron: console tables, dining tables, decorative wall accents, garden gates... just to mention a few...

Here's one example of a 'before' & 'after'...

these panels of rusted iron (with beautiful patina!)

turned into this stunning Driveway Gate

fabricated here @ Black Dog Salvage

We still have tons of iron to explore in our yard!

Vintage Leather Chair

sorry, this one SOLD fast!

Good News! Ebay has finally stopped pulling our listings and we're slowing catching up & rebuilding our store... thanks to an update in Ebay's policies, our listings were pulled because we did not include shipping rates. I feel for the folks who lost thousands of listings... guess we were lucky to just lose 200... anyhoo... because Ebay does not offer a bulk listing tool to include freight shipping, we're updating each listing one at a time... so if there's something you saw in our Ebay Store, that's no longer there -please give us a call or drop us an email - we'll check to see if it's still here.

Better News! We have some great new finds to share... my favorite is shown above... Vintage Leather Chair from our vendor, The Vintage Life. Pictures don't do this one justice... I see this in a library room with a cool beverage & good book!

More to come...

Changes to our Ebay Store

1st Dibs... $1500

Black Dog Salvage $525

If you haven't run across 1st Dibs yets... check it out... it's a wonderful site to browse through and be inspired... truely lovely items & designs... if you're able to afford the items, better yet.

We checked to see if we could join their list of dealers, but unfortunately they only offer a limited number of regions - hopefully one day Roanoke will be included... until then, it's worth checking out our website to see how much you can save! Since our overhead is a fraction of shops located in New York, LA, London, Paris... we can often offer items for much less.

Here's an example:

Antique Wrought Iron Gate (pictured above):
1st Dibs price $1507 (reduced from $2,010)
Black Dog price $525 (everyday low price!)
