Progress at the Recycling Center

The e-cycleme.com warehouse, Charlotte Street Computers’ own labor of love, has been undergoing some changes and we want you to be able to see our progress as it’s happening. Below are some pictures of our first team meeting in the recycling center.

Our first pile of computers to recycle!

Discussing our new venture.

Hmm…looks like those walls in the back could use some shelves for all the computers the wonderful people of Asheville are sending us!

Jen and Matt talking business.

Above is the the back of our building where you can drop off all your computer recycling. (101 S. Lexington Ave. Mon-Fri 10am-6pm; Sat 10am-5pm) I wouldn’t get used to the color, by the way.

Did I mention our sweet view from the roof?

Located right behind The Orange Peel

That first meeting was the beginning of our “How to make e-cycleme.com successful, functional, AND beautiful” brainstorming. Stay tuned the CSC blog to see how it all turns out. (Or drop of your old computer at e-cycleme.com and see for yourself!)

We’ve Been on the Radio!!

Jennifer dropped by 105.9 The Mountain here in Asheville to get to word out about ecycleme.com and our mission to bring refurbished computers to those less fortunate.

Inside ecycleme.com

Charlotte Street Computers’ recycling facility, ecycleme.com, is up and running at 101 South Lexington Ave. Here’s a little glimpse inside….

Ah, the forklift and the towers of computers.

eBay Desk

And here’s the eBay desk where our eBay expert, Dawn, puts all of our reusable parts online to be sold. (Check us out on eBay!)

Thanks for taking a look inside ecycleme.com! And whenever you, or someone you know needs to get rid of an old computer, send it our way! Remember, we refurbish computers for members of our community in need, so your old machine might just benefit a good cause.

The good people at Asheville’s brand new Rankin Vault Cocktail Lounge were nice enough to give us a shout out in their blog, so we thought we’d return the favor. Check out their blog here.
