Send a Kid to Camp Good Days by Recycling Electronics!

What is e-Scrap for Camp?

2024 marked the 14th e-Scrap for Camp fundraising campaign. Over 6.5 million lbs. of electronics have been collected and recycled to date, resulting in over $150,000 donated to Camp Good Days on behalf of Sunnking.

Sunnking created e-Scrap for Camp in 2010 to support Camp Good Days and Special Times. Funds raised through recycling local business electronics are donated to improve the quality of life for children, adults, and families dealing with cancer. This annual event's combined efforts make a huge difference, not only to those affected by the disease but also by ensuring the safe and responsible recycling of tons of unwanted devices.

THIS BUSINESS-ONLY EVENT IS NOT INTENDED FOR PUBLIC COLLECTIONS. SUNNKING WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE PARTICIPANTS WHO ADVERTISE THEMSELVES AS A PUBLIC COLLECTION SITE.

How it Works

Buffalo, Rochester, and Whitesboro, NY-area businesses and organizations are encouraged to gather electronics from their employees, friends, and family members for two weeks. Sunnking provides boxes to collect items and will pick them up for FREE! For every pound of electronics Sunnking recycles from your organization, a portion of the proceeds is donated to Camp Good Days to fund future programs.

• Each participating location will have the opportunity to collect electronics from employees, friends, and family for two weeks. After the registration period closes, a Sunnking representative will contact you via email with supply drop-off and electronics pick-up dates. Please do not announce your collection event until you receive these dates.

• Sunnking will provide collection boxes and pallets during the day before your scheduled collection at no cost. Supplies must be kept dry and indoors.
• Box dimensions are approximately 48"W x 40"L x 48"H, and they sit on top of a standard pallet. Your facility must have dock access OR doorway ground level clearance (no stairs) to accommodate the pallets, boxes, and a pallet jack used to move the collection material.
• Electronics will be picked up by Sunnking during the day after your scheduled collection and recycled at no cost.
• Sunnking will track and record the net weight of electronics recycled from each participating location and provide a report and Certificate of Donation at the end of the campaign to the email address you provided at registration.
• At the end of the campaign, Sunnking will donate a portion of the proceeds to Camp Good Days for every pound of electronics recycled. The donation usually happens around September 1st to honor Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
• Please refer to our list of acceptable materials for recycling before participating.
• CRT televisions and monitors will be collected; however, they will not contribute to the final donation due to the high recycling cost.
• You will receive marketing materials that you can use to generate excitement about the event via email.
