CDI and RISTE Sponsor Free Technology Waste Disposal Day

Rhode Island Schools to Dispose of their Tired, Clunky, Old Computers
CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
CDI, North America's largest supplier of recertified, brand name computers to
the educational market, is sponsoring a Free Technology Waste Disposal Day in
conjunction with the Rhode Island Society of Technology Education (RISTE) on
October 27, 2009 from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. This event is open to all private and
public school districts in Rhode Island and will take place at the Northern
Rhode Island Collaborative. The event will benefit area school districts by
providing them a free and easy way to dispose of their technology waste.

In addition, to help encourage participation, CDI is giving away a free notebook
computer to the district with the highest weight in recycled equipment. To learn

This event will also benefit the state of Rhode Island by lowering the amount of
technology waste that flows into its landfills. After the event CDI will take
the disposed equipment, break it down, and then recycle or reuse the parts. This
process results in a close to 0% landfill rate.

"The color of the 21st century is undeniably green and CDI is proud to play a
role to foster a cleaner, greener and more sustainable planet. We see the Free
Technology Waste Disposal Day as an easy way to create a win-win for schools and
the environment," said Saar Pikar, General Manager, CDI. "CDI is proud to be one
of the sponsors of this event and we plan to participate in similar beneficial
events in the future."

"I applaud CDI for their eco-friendly leadership, legally disposing of and/or
recycling computer equipment components for schools and districts. In true CDI
fashion, they will assure that this innovative event will be a huge success,"
said Norm Chapman, Executive Director of RISTE. "This event will be a both a
blessing and relief for Rhode Island's technology directors and coordinators who
participate, because they desperately need a reliable means of clearing their
closets of piles of obsolete equipment."
