IT's Easy Being Green
IT's a dirty business, but at Madison Computer Works, we find IT easy to be green!
We recycle nearly all post-consumer computer parts and have been doing that for over a decade...long before it was "fashionable" or mandated by state law.
We will continue to reduce/reuse/recycle whenever possible and do our part to improve our air quality, fight global warming, and tread as lightly as possible upon this planet.
Our industry consumes a great deal of energy and natural resources, both in the creation and use of computing devices. We feel a very strong obligation to mitigate consumption and waste wherever possible. Here our some of our conservation efforts:
2022 - Added a third EV, another Nissan Leaf
Currently 75% of our service fleet is EV and 25% hybrid.2020 - Added a second EV, another Nissan Leaf
Currently 50% of our service fleet is EV and 50% hybrid.2019 - Added our first EV, a Nissan Leaf
2017 - Added a third Toyota Prius c to our service fleet.
2015 - More than doubled our solar PV, with an additional 10kW above our service center.

Currently we purchase 100% of our electricity from solar/wind power and generate additional energy from our solar PV system!2011 - Installation of motion/photo sensors and energy-efficient lighting throughout our 8000 square foot facility.
This has lowered our electrical consumption by more than 13%.2008 - Joined MG&E's Green Power Tomorrow program.
