We Are Supporting Patriotic Hearts
The Correct Cause Oriented Non-Profit
for American Business to Champion
Welcome
• On behalf of Veterans Green Projects Initiative (“VGPI”),
we want to invite you to join us for our formal introduction
to our national e-waste collection program that benefits
both your organization and the Patriotic Hearts 501c3
Non-profit through its HirePatriots.com initiative.
• When you decide to start this program, you will receive an
individual Letter of Introduction acknowledging your
willingness to represent our caused based Non-Profit and
allowing us to continue our work of "Helping Veterans
and Active-duty Military find work off the Battlefield".
Key Program Elements
1. Bottom line positive financial impact for e-waste
contributors
• For each e-waste transaction that you direct us to, the
contributor will receive a Letter of Donation from Patriotic
Hearts for its full present day value to apply against their
operating profits.
• The Donor will determine what this value is to their company
• The value of this Letter of Donation is far greater than the
scrap value of the e-waste itself.
• An example of a Letter of Donation is attached.
Value of Donation Letter is HUGE
• From a business standpoint, each e-waste pick up will be
awarded a Letter of Donation from Patriotic Hearts, our
501c3.
• This Letter of Donation will have an open value of
donation.
• You will be able to determine what the fair value of each
donation is and place this value on the Letter of Donation
that comes from Patriotic Hearts.

Normal “No Cost to Customer” for
pick-up and other operational costs
• Veterans Green Project Initiative has established No
Cost e-waste collections
• There is one policy caveat.
• There are Federal Government acknowledged categories
of e-waste that must be properly disposed of and require
specific paperwork to accompany these disposals or
destructions and these actions have known costs that
must be paid
Tools we use to complete our mission
• At Veterans Green Projects Initiative, we have adapted
•
•
•
•
tools that allow us to solidify commitment from
organizations to best assure that they continue to
contribute their e-waste and allow us to fulfill our mission
of constantly creating more and more new sustainable
Jobs for Veterans.
Examples of these tools and how easy they are…….
The primary tool is the SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT

Why we do what we do for OUR Veterans
HERE ARE THE FACTS
• We have too many recurring and appalling situations NATIONWIDE
• More than 700,000 9/11 United States Veterans are looking for work
and not finding it.
• Another 500,000 United States Veterans from earlier years are also
seeking a job.
• And more than 1.3 million additional young men and women will
be leaving the service by 2016.
•
ACTION ALERT, Mark Baird, co-founder Patriotic Hearts, November, 2013
• The U.S. disposes of more than 384 million units of electronic waste
each year
• And less than 20 percent of that is recycled, according to the
Electronics TakeBack Coalition.
• The remaining 80 percent is burned or dumped in landfills.

A bout

·Rirepatriots
HirePatriots.com was launched in
2005. The founders were living next door
to Camp Pendleton Marine Base. One day
a Marine who had just returned home
from Iraq knocked on their door. "Sir," he
said, "I just got back from deployment
and found out that my wife was laid-off a
couple of months before I got back
home.
And when I got back today I found
out that our utilities were turned off. So I
need to earn some extra money to make
• sure that we can have lights and heat
' before my kids go to sleep tonight. - Is
• there any work or repairs that I can do
for you around your home or yard?"

After that our founders created
HtreMannes.com to see tf any othe r
residents wanted to htre loca l Mannes.
Within a few months 10,000 reside nts
and Mannes were coming to the site
every week! -- The website changed its
name to HirePatnots.com when the sailors
in San Diego asked 1f they could use the
site too.

Now back to e-waste
• Thank you for allowing us to tell you
• That we are Patriotic Hearts; and the
• HirePatriots’ Veterans Green Projects
is leading the way in providing safe ewaste solutions; and
• This is why we are your best e-waste
partner in many ways.
What is e-waste?
•
Electronic waste, “e-waste”,
describes a variety of Waste
Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE)
•
In addition to discarded
Consumer Electronics,
IT/Telecom Equipment to
Commercial Power Systems
•
WEEE also includes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
appliances; refrigerators
office electronic equipment
mobile phones, computers
electrical tools;
medical devices;
control instruments;
automatic dispensing
machines;
•
LED and other lighting
solutions and fixtures;
•
And so much more….
36
e-waste is eNormous
In the United States alone during 2009:
• 314 million units
438 million
new electronic products
(2.45 million short tons)
were SOLD
(4.9 million short tons)
were IN STORAGE
(i.e., not being used)
• 367 million units
(2.37 million short tons)
were READY FOR
DISPOSAL
ONLY 17% of units
(25% by weight)
that were “ready for
disposal” were actually
RECYCLED
Source: EPA (2011)
37
The Case for Responsible Electronics Recycling
• E-waste is the fastest growing
•
•
•
•
•
•
waste stream
Regulation increasingly mandates
recycling of electronics
Many electronic devices contain
sensitive data
Many discarded electronics can be
refurbished and resold
Precious metals and other
valuable materials can be
recovered from e-waste
Toxic substances in e-waste can
harm people and the environment
Recycling these materials requires
less energy than and lowers the
need for mining new natural
resources, reducing the carbon
footprint of electronics throughout
their lifecycle.

Three Main Areas Of Focus:
• Recycling Electronics and Appliances
• This is a process where HirePatriots coordinates,
picks-up, packages and removes any electronic
device….anything that plugs in or takes a
battery ranging from computers to printers,
cellphones and chargers, servers and monitors,
entertainment devices like televisions and music
players (MP3), lab equipment or even toner
cartridges, all appliances – large or small, and all
the way up to commercial power systems, electric
motors, and LED or older technology lighting
systems to mention just some of the many
qualified categories of e-waste.
Three Main Areas Of Focus:
• IT Asset Disposition Services
• This is a process where HirePatriots picks
up IT equipment with the purpose of
tracking, reporting, testing, refurbishing
and repurposing this equipment. In this
process, the HirePatriots team offers
comprehensive transparent reporting and
certification of disposal to the client.
Three Main Areas Of Focus:
• Secure Data Destruction
• HirePatriots has placed a major focus on the destruction of hard
drives, tapes and other types of media.
• HirePatriots engages the most advanced hard drive shredding
trucks on the road today. These trucks are custom fit to surpass
even the most stringent standards required by clients for
shredding. They are equipped with an Air Conditioned viewing
area where a client can fully observe hard drives being fed into
the shredder and can see the 8mm size particles coming out of
the shredder at the bottom. The entire process is video recorded
and the client can be provided with a copy.
• And additionally, HirePatriots offers hard drive
wiping,
degaussing and crushing. This equipment can even be rented
out or leased for extended use which includes setup, training and
the removal of scrap from the destroyed media along with
certificates of destruction.
