CleanColtan is an activism organization, based in Macon, attempting to help alleviate the situation in the DRC. Coltan is an extremely important mineral present in all electronic devices. Unfortunately it is mined through exploitation and often dumped unsafely. In order to reduce the amount of coltan in the environment Mercer University students are collecting E-Waste to recycle.
Coltan is a naturally occurring mineral that is a major part of what keeps the digital world thriving! Coltan is short for columbite-tantalite and is found in many electronic devices. You're probably accessing this website on a device containing coltan and are completely unaware!
Often, when electronics stop being useful, they are dumped in landfills. This is extremely harmful to the environment because of their coltan content. In order to combat the situation we are holding an electronic drive and collections continue throughout this month. Anything can help!
In attempt to reaching a wide audience we have been talking to professors on campus to college students around the world with instagram posts and this website. Our group from INT 301 includes Zainab Shaik, Keslyn Billings, and Christian Peterkin all current Mercer students who are majoring in changing the world!
Please contact us if you want more information on the situation.
We love helping the environment, drop off donations in CSC lobby.
