PLEASE RECYCLE YOUR E-WASTE!

Hello:  The BLIND CENTER OF NEVADA in Las Vegas concentrates on improving the daily lives of its blind and visually impaired members by providing training, employment opportunities, and free services.  Employment and free services are funded in part by our Computer/Electronic Recycling business.  One hundred percent (100%) of the profits go directly to help the blind and visually impaired.

In order to keep all of the services and programs in place, and to insure employment, the need for old and unwanted computers and other electronics for recycling is an everyday occurrence at the Blind Center of Nevada.  All e-waste is kept out of the landfills in Nevada.  We also specialize in data-erasure of your hard drive, and send a serial numbered Certificate  report upon completion of the erasure.

If you have any equipment for us to recycle, or have any questions regarding our services, please call the Blind Center of Nevada at (702) 642-6000.  The Blind Center of Nevada is located at 1001 N. Bruce Street, Las Vegas, NV 89101.  The fax number is (702) 649-6739.  Please visit our website listed below, also.

“The case for recycling is strong.  The bottom line is clear.  Recycling creates more jobs than land filling or incineration.  And a largely ignored but very important consideration, recycling reduces our need to dump our garbage in someone else’s backyard.” – David Morris of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance

THE IMPORTANCE OF DATA ERASURE!

Hello:  At the BLIND CENTER OF NEVADA in Las Vegas, we offer data erasure of all information from the hard drive in your computer.  A Certificate is mailed to you upon completion of the service.

When you recycle your computer, it is important to remove the data so that no one can retrieve your important personal and/or business information.  There have been many identity thefts due to the fact that people sometimes dispose of their computers without removal of their information on the hard drives.

For more information on computer/electronic recycling and data erasure, please call the Blind Center of Nevada at (702) 642-6000.  Also, please visit our website listed below.

SHALL WE DANCE?

Hello:  The BLIND CENTER OF NEVADA in Las Vegas would like to spotlight a social event that occurs every Wednesday afternoon.  A variety of dance steps and styles are taught to blind or visually impaired members by one of our professional dance instructors who volunteer their time to this worthwhile project.

This form of social interaction helps to promote better health, a sense of balance, courage to express themselves through dance, and the chance to dance with a partner who understands what it is like to navigate around on the dance floor being visually impaired.  Most of all, everyone just has a good time!

There are many wonderful programs at the Blind Center of Nevada.  Please call to get more information on member services, or volunteering, at (702) 642-6000.  The Blind Center of Nevada is located at 1001 N.
