As an IT Staffing Firm, we love technology. But sometimes we end up with too much tech in our lives as we continue buying new products and newer models. What should you do with all your old and unused electronics? Recycle them! Bridge holds a biannual e-Waste Drive serving Rhode Islanders looking to do their part and protect the environment.
