SAN FRANCISCO, CA - December 17, 2004 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Computers and Laptops donated this holiday season to Computer Recycling Center's (C.R.C.)

Computer equipment contains hazardous materials including lead and mercury and can pollute the environment and ground water if thrown away in the trash. It is important to environmentally recycle all computer equipment and electronics (www.epa.ca.gov).
