AZ StRUT

🌎 Earth Month was a big one for AZ StRUT!

This April, our community showed up in a major way. Here's a look at what we were up to:

♻️ Desert Garden Church of Christ collected 14,067 lbs of e-waste over two days with nearly 400 volunteers

⚙️ Our Chandler Mall Earth Day event brought in 5,629 lbs — plus a Refurbish-a-Thon that restored 67 Chromebooks

🗑️ A new e-waste drop-off bin is now live at Mesa Community College's library

💻 We provided 11 workstations for the new Walter Hive Digital Lab ribbon cutting in Scottsdale

🔧 We hosted our first-ever Hardware Techie Experience with St. Vincent de Paul

🤝 A huge thank you to NXP for volunteering AND awarding us a $3,000 grant

👋 Shoutout to our intern Jessica, who came in with zero tech experience and leaves with skills — and a plan to keep volunteering.

Old tech doesn't have to become trash. Donate yours, volunteer with us, or make a gift to keep the cycle going. 🌱

🌎♻️ Happy Earth Day from AZ StRUT! ♻️🌎

Today, we celebrate the power of recycling, reuse, and community impact. Every cable, computer, and electronic device properly recycled helps keep harmful e-waste out of our landfills and gives technology a second life.

At AZ StRUT, we’re proud to help our community recycle responsibly while protecting the environment and supporting digital inclusion through refurbished technology.

This Earth Day, remember: small actions make a big difference. 💚 Drop off your old electronics, spread the word, and help us keep Arizona green — one device at a time.
