3R Technology at the Seattle Green Festival 2008

Tammy Madsen and Glen Gaidos discuss e-waste recycling with Green Festival attendees

Tyson Cook shows off this futuristic cell phone that someone dropped off. Can you believe anyone would part with this gem?

Over 30,000 people attended this year's Green Festival - this is just the atrium area at the entrance to the festival!

Just one of many bins we filled up with batteries that we collected for recycling - 333 lbs. in total, and almost 650 lbs of e-waste collected! This was all just small stuff that attendees brought in their backpack or purse.

Over 80 lbs. of cellphones and accessories too! We haven't had a chance to count them all yet...


Green festival visitors decided it was time to get rid of their floppies and CDs, too. We had 33 lbs of this old material collected for recycling.
