Software for Recyclers Manages Charitable Donations of Technology

Silvanus360 by Zylog helps recyclers and manufacturers easily donate useable equipment through the National Cristina Foundation. Benefits include tax deductions and double state collection credits.

New Orleans. Louisiana (POST) September 28, 2010 – Donations to non-profit organizations can generate financial benefits for recyclers, businesses, and manufacturers. Helping educational institutions, charities, and public agencies creates unexpected rewards.

The highest form of recycling is reuse. Reallocating retired products as charitable donations not only helps to keep electronic waste out of landfills, it also revitalizes local communities.

The National Cristina Foundation is a not for profit charity that enables used computers and related technology to be given a second productive life as a tool for developing human potential. The National Cristina Foundation has been a pioneer in technology reuse since 1985.

Thousands of prescreened organizations throughout the United States and Canada are registered in the Cristina Network as eligible to receive donations of computer and related technology. The Foundation’s donation management system enables non-profit community organizations, schools and public agencies to gain access to equipment donated in their local communities. The National Cristina Foundation does not charge any fees for its work or the technology that is distributed through the donation process.

Zylog integrated access to the Cristina Network in Silvanus360 software for recyclers. The integration enables recyclers to donate working computers and peripherals to thousands of local organizations across the United States and Canada.
