Central Virginia Small Business Resource Day 2006 offers participation by over thirty local, state, and federal entities and agencies that all offer services designed to aid in business success.

The U.S. Small Business Administration will be working closely with numerous lenders to process SAME DAY LOAN APPROVALS for small business loan applications, and lenders will be on-site all day to accept loan requests. Click here for more information.
For complete details about the event, click here. Or contact Stu Neal, Director, The Center for Entrepreneurial Development Community College Workforce Alliance.
This first ever statewide initiative has been organized by Computer Recycling Initiative (CRI) and Virginia Recycling Association (VRA) in an effort to help people understand the need for proper disposal of electronics as well as encourage more recycling opportunities be made available for citizens. Fifteen communities across the state have planned electronics collection events in April, during which outdated computers, monitors, televisions, printers and cell phones will be accepted. There is a nominal drop off fee for some items. *
It has been estimated that by the end of 2007, computers and TVs will become obsolete at an alarming rate of 160,000 per day. If landfilled or incinerated, hazardous materials in common electronic products may be released into the soil, air or water. Traditional televisions and computer monitors use cathode ray tubes (CRTs), each of which contain as much as 8 pounds of lead. Flat screen TVs and monitors contain mercury. Printed circuit boards and switches in electronic devices contain small amounts of chromium, cadmium, mercury and lead.
Fifteen collection events have been planned around the state including
collections in Tidewater, Northern Virginia, Richmond and southwest
Virginia. Each community’s event is listed on VRA’s web site (www.vrarecycles.org) and is similar
in concept, but may vary on specific materials accepted, costs, and limits
as to participation. Visit the web site for exact location and
times.
“This is a great opportunity to get rid
of that old PC or VCR that has been collecting dust in your attic and know
it will be responsibly reused or recycled,” said Carrie Dorsey, CRI’s
Director. “We hope April’s Electronics Recycling Month will
precipitate more recycling options in the future.”
* Some events
are restricted to residents of the sponsoring locality. Some accept
business waste. Fees may be charged for particular items to offset
recycling costs.
One of the many benefits of being a Tech Council member is the discount you receive for goods and services provided by other members.
If your company is interested in providing discounts to Tech Council members, please contact the Tech Council office.
