Patch recently visited ServiceSource on Edsall Road, where workers with disabilities are earning a living by recycling a refurbishing computers through the “Keep IT Green” program.

None of the computers components enter the landfill. They are recycled, sold to vendors or made into new, lost-cost computers, which are sold to local schools.
