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.
