150 people who have gone through the program.” But for the workers, the job training is far more valuable than the money earned. “They have expressed gratitude not only for the work experience, but for assistance with resume writing, getting a driver’s license, housing and the next step forward to a job,” Lyons said. Most workers stay in the PAR program for about six months, then go on to full-time employment. “That was our goal,” Lyons said. “Of [the program participants] who remained in contact, most turned their lives around. They are now working and have good family lives. Very, very few have returned to prison.” *** Do you have used electronic equip-

Safely recycle ‘E-Waste’ E-Waste, short for electronic waste, includes any outdated or obsolete appliance or electronic device found in offices, homes and even pants pockets. Computers, printers and cell phones are all common examples of e-waste. In 2013, Pennsylvania passed the Covered Device Recycling Act (CDRA), which made it illegal to dispose of electronics at the curbside, either in the trash or recycling bin. As a result of the ban on curbside pick-up of electronics, Philadelphia residents are now required to safely dispose of any old electronics at a recycling center, such as PAR-Recycle Works.
