Pepco Supports E-Cycling

In conjunction with the “America Recycles Day” campaign, Pepco makes a concerted effort twice a year to collect electronic equipment for recycling.
Some of the items collected and saved from the landfill include: computers, monitors, scanners, printers, fax machines, televisions, radios, VCRs, cell phones, toner cartridges and rechargeable batteries.
“We are very proud to be a part of this effort. Our employees recognize that we must do what we can to benefit our environment,” says Colin Danville, Lead Engineer with Pepco’s Environment Management Services.
Turning the Tide on Trash
Every year Pepco employees give back to the community by helping clean up the Anacostia River. Employees use rakes and shovels to fill industrial-strength trash bags with garbage found along the shoreline. Still, others go by boat and “fish” for tires, shopping carts and heavy items that sit along the river’s bottom.
