May 2026 E-Waste

05/07/2026


We hit a MASSIVE milestone Oberlin! ♻️📦





A huge thank you to the 150+ people who came out for our E-Waste Collection event yesterday. It was a busy afternoon, and the results were incredible!





The "Heavy" Stats:





  • 150+ Participants joined us at the OCS parking lot.
  • Tons Collected: We estimate we brought in several tons of old tech yesterday alone.
  • The Big Number: This brings our 4-year total to over 15 TONS of e-waste removed from our community!




Since we started this event four years ago, we’ve averaged nearly 4 tons of recycled electronics per year. That is a lot of old TVs, monitors, and cables kept out of the landfill.









Thank you for helping us keep Oberlin clean and for supporting your local Co-op. We couldn't do it without you!

There are many great things about the Cable Co-op, such as,





No rate increases since 2021.
Many internet packages have had no rate increase since 2019.
Sponsorships of Chalk Walk, Doggie Doo, Oberlin Athletic Boosters, and many other events.
Our Oberlin Highschool Scholarship
The fact we are nonprofit and Member-owned.
We were created by our community to serve our community.
We have a local office.
We have local technicians.
We have local afterhours support.
We have a 4.6 rating on google.





But the things I enjoy the most are what our members think of us:





“On behalf of our students, staff, and families, we would like to thank the Oberlin Cable Co- for providing support during this epidemic.”





“The Oberlin Cable Co-op continues to be an amazing asset to the community.”





"They have helped in bridging the digital divide in the community.”





“Never a bad experience with Cable Co-op”





“I love you, Cable Co-op!!”





“Love my Oberlin Cable.”





"When the pandemic hit, we reached out to all internet service providers (ISPs) serving our student population and the Cable Co-op was the only provider willing to work with us and develop a plan of action, The Co-op significantly reduced pricing and was quick to provide internet access to every student in need within their service area. Without the Cable Co-op, we would not have been able to start the year fully remote or have any level of success with our hybrid program."
