The Arkansas Traveler features a story on the new recycling program Green Fed II, created by the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality to provide students the ability to send electronics for recycling or reuse with no charge.
The program allows private citizens to print off a pre-paid UPS sticker and send away any electronic item by dropping it off at a UPS store. So far over 1,000 tons have been recycled in one year, but the program does not offer a drop-off location so it has been met with some criticism from those who say it is too difficult.
