Under the program residents of the United States can submit a list of their used and obsolete electronic equipment to youchange for recycling and proper disposal. In return youchange will assess a value for the items being submitted and make a donation equivalent to that value to My Arms Wide Open foundation to support our Vertical Food Walls Systems and Pads4Girls partnership programs currently running through Global Giving Foundation.
How it works - youchange Online (http://www.youchange.com/mawo)
1. Find your electronics through our gadget calculator and calculate its offer price.
2. Fill your recycle cart with the electronics you want to send us.
3. If you want to donate to a charity don’t forget to choose one prior to completing your order.

"We are excited and grateful for this new opportunity and the support youchange has shown us. This is a great way for individuals and organizations to get involved", said Warren Te Brugge, Founder and Chairman of My Arms Wide Open Foundation.
"youchange is excited to partner with My Arms Wide Open to help mitigate the problem of electronic waste. Every year hundreds of millions of electronic items are thrown away in the US alone. Each one contains elements that are damaging to our environment and each contains metals and minerals mined in Africa many times by children and slaves. By donating your electronics through this partnership we not only mitigate the social and environmental damage but youchange will pay My Arms Wide Open for working items, providing funds to help support essential programs", said Derrick Mains, Executive Vice President at youchange.
