An electronic recycling busi-
ness created at JVS Human
Services to provide jobs
for people with barriers to
employment has reached
a milestone: more than 1
million pounds of electronic
parts have been recycled.
To celebrate, on
Monday, Dec. 2, eCycle
Opportunities will have
a special drop-off day for
the public to discard their
unwanted electronic items
after Black Friday shopping.
“Green Monday” gives
people the opportunity to
dispose of these items safely
and securely, while support-
ing the thousands of Metro
Detroiters assisted by JVS
Human Services every year.
Drop off is at the agency’
s
Southfield location, at 29699
Southfield Road, at the south
side of the building from 8
a.m. to 7 p.m. ECycle accepts
most electronics for free, and
will waive its regular disposal
fees for TVs, CRT monitors
and desktop printers during
the event.
Paul Blatt, executive
vice president and COO of
JVS Human Services, said,
“ECycle is a venture that has
proved successful on many
levels. While creating a new
revenue stream to support
our services for people with
disabilities, we are also tak-
ing care of the planet and
creating jobs. We see it as a
win-win all around.”
ECycle has a a drop off
for the general public every
Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 2
p.m.; but, on Tuesday, Dec.
3, there will be extended
drop-off hours from 8 a.m.
to 7 p.m. to accommodate
Cyber Monday shoppers
who may not have had a
chance to drop off their
items. Anything from com-
puters and cellphones, to
printers, TVs, fax machines,
servers, routers and many
other electronic items can be
recycled.

Drop-Off Day
Latke Vodka Set for Nov. 30
Everyone is talking
impeachment these days,
but many people are
confused about what it
actually means. Because
impeachment only
happened twice in U.S.
history (to Andrew Johnson
and Bill Clinton with
Richard Nixon avoiding
near-certain impeachment
by resigning), it’
s not the
sort of thing you get a
lot of details on in high
school history classes. That
is why Fems for Change,
a nonpartisan, nonprofit
organization engaged in
community education, is
sponsoring a civic lecture on
the topic.
Speaker Robert A. Sedler,
distinguished professor of
constitutional law at Wayne
State University, has deep
and broad knowledge of
this subject matter. He will
address some of the most
commonly asked questions
and concerns the public
wants to know about this
dramatic and important
legal event.
The program takes place
Wednesday, Dec. 4, from
6:30-8 p.m. at the Gerry
Kulick Community Center,
1201 Livernois, Ferndale.
Cost is $15 per person
with limited seating.
