Supporting Local Families

The proceeds from this event directly benefit two incredible non-profit organizations.

First, the funds support Camp Good Days & Special Times. This organization dedicates itself to improving the quality of life for children, adults, and families touched by cancer.

Second, the donations help The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Western New York. They provide a “home away from home” for families of seriously ill children. By recycling old electronics, we help fund essential services for these families in our region.

Sustainable Partnership with Sunnking

O’Connell Electric partnered with Sunnking Sustainable Solutions to ensure the best results. This partnership guaranteed that recycled devices were processed securely and sustainably.

We used our various offices as collection points. Employees dropped off unused or broken electronics, such as:

  • Computers
  • Monitors
  • Small appliances
  • Accessories

Sunnking is an R2v3 certified recycler. Therefore, they follow strict environmental and data security standards. This ensures hazardous materials stay out of the waste stream. Furthermore, it allows them to recover valuable resources efficiently.

A Word from Our CEO

Participating in these programs offers a real way for our team to give back.

“Participating in the e-Scrap for Camp and Recycle for Ronald programs offers a tangible way for our team to make a difference,” said Michael Parkes, Chief Executive Officer.

“Not only are we preventing over two and a half tons of electronic waste from polluting our environment, but we are also helping to fund essential services for families in our region.”
