Mike Green is this Week's Buy Idaho Member of the Week at KIDO 580 AM

This week's guest on KIDO Radio is Michael Green, CEO of  Project KOPEG.  

Project KOPEG. was an idea born at the kitchen table of founders Mike & Josi Green.  While working for a wireless cell phone carrier, Mike heard a question over and over; "what should I do with my old cell phone?" A question that had no official answer from the wireless carriers except to use it for a paper weight.  

Combining the idea of environmental responsibility and philanthropy the founders put together a company with a win-win solution for our environment and worthwhile causes.  In its first year Project KOPEG. made amazing strides and recycled tens of thousands of cell phones.

In 2007 the company expanded their e-waste recycling program to include recycling cell phones & chargers, computers, ink cartridges, PDAs, digital cameras, Mp3 players and virtually all electronic waste.  

Every Thursday at 8:55 a.m. KIDO Radio hosts Dave Burnett and Bryon Norton interview a Buy Idaho member about their business. The interview is an informal question and answer session about the member's business, the products or services they provide contact information, such as address, phone numbers and web site address. The interview is designed to help Buy Idaho members sell more.
