The project from Goodwill, the Pennsylvania Recycling Markets Center and Reworld has a goal to collect 500,000 pounds of e-scrap during its first year.

It must be noted that neighbouring Iowa City, North Liberty as well as cities in Linn County already offers single-stream recycling services to consumers.
