Press Release Summary: Organizations needing to raise money and who wish to
positively impact the

Press Release Body: Recycling is the focus this week throughout the country as
residents, schools, businesses, municipalities and other organizations celebrate
America
Recycles Day, officially recognized on November 15th. With Americans consuming over
426,000 cell phones and 1,370,000 ink cartridges EVERYDAY, Project KOPEG "Keep Our
Planet Earth Green", offers non-profits, churches, schools, youth groups, businesses
or virtually any organization wanting to raise extra funds, a program that
incorporates a win/win solution of
recycling and protecting the environment. One cell phone alone, improperly disposed
of in a landfill can potentially contaminate 158,000 gallons of ground water, which
is the equivalent to 2.4 million cups of coffee or tea!

Project KOPEG accepts used cell phones, batteries & chargers, inkjet/toner
cartridges, Mp3 players, iPods, Digital Cameras, Pocket PC's, Handhelds, Palm Pilots
and PDA's. "With the growing concern over the environmental impact of electronic
waste, we believe we are doing the right thing in offering individuals and
businesses the opportunity to recycle these items and support their community at the
same time" states Mary Bradley, a fundraiser consultant with Project KOPEG. "We
have a commitment to education and the environment. Every piece of our literature
carries the message of the harmful effects of improper disposal of e-waste."

KOPEG's owner, Mike Green, isn't fussy about the items they accept. "We will
compensate fundraisers for all models, no matter what condition. Our focus is to
keep these items out of our nation's landfills and help protect water for future
generations. We make it simple and easy and pay for all shipping of items to our
office."
