eWaste Warriors: Reboot Hour – Drinks, Networking & Device Donation

Ready to be an eWaste Warrior? Join us for our monthly Reboot Hour – where good vibes meet great impact!
We're on a mission to tackle the growing e-waste crisis, one device at a time. Every year, 62 million tons of electronic waste are generated globally, but together we can change that story. This isn't just another networking event – it's your chance to make a real difference while connecting with like-minded changemakers in the DMV area.

## 🔋 BRING A DEVICE, SAVE THE PLANET

Here's where YOU become the hero: Bring any unused electronic device and give it a second life! We're talking:

• Smartphones (even that cracked iPhone in your drawer)
• Tablets (iPads, Android tablets, e-readers)
• Laptops (working or not – we can work magic!)
• Any other electronic device collecting dust

Don't have a device? No problem! Bring a friend's device, your family's old tech, or that gadget your neighbor mentioned wanting to get rid of. Every device donated helps reduce toxic e-waste and keeps precious materials in circulation!

## 👥 DOUBLE THE IMPACT: BRING A FRIEND!

Challenge accepted? Bring a friend AND bring a device (or better yet – bring a friend who brings a device!). The more eWaste Warriors we have, the bigger impact we make. Plus, saving the planet is always more fun with friends!

## 🌍 WHY IT MATTERS

When you donate your device, you're not just decluttering – you're:

• Preventing toxic materials from ending up in landfills
• Recovering precious metals like gold, silver, and rare earth elements
• Giving someone else access to affordable, refurbished technology
• Reducing the demand for new device manufacturing
• Fighting climate change one device at a time

## 📱 DEVICE DONATION MADE EASY

Before you come:

• Back up any important data
• Sign out of all accounts
• Factory reset your device
• Remove SIM cards and SD cards
• Make sure the device is fully unlocked

Don't worry if you need help with any of these steps – our team will be there to guide you through the process!

## 🎉 WHAT TO EXPECT

This is a casual, no-pressure gathering where passionate people come together to network, learn, and make an impact. Expect:

• Relaxed networking with fellow eWaste Warriors
• Device donation and intake
• Updates on our mission and impact
• Ways to get more involved
• Good vibes and great conversations
• Light refreshments

## 🚀 JOIN THE MOVEMENT

We're not just collecting devices – we're building a community of changemakers who believe technology should serve people and planet. Whether you're a tech professional, environmental advocate, student, or just someone who cares about our future, you belong here.
Remember: Every device donated is a victory against e-waste. Every friend you bring multiplies our impact. Every conversation started here ripples out to create more change.
After all, we're eWaste Warriors – and warriors fight together! 💪
