California Electronics Recycler Opens Another Eco-Center

GreenCitizen Inc., an electronic scrap recycling company based in San Francisco, announced that despite the economic downturn it is opening up more Eco-Centers.

The latest GreenCitizen center opened last week in Burlingame, Calif., just in time for the analog to digital TV conversion, the press release says. The Burlingame Eco-Center is the third GreenCitizen drop-off location in the bay area following their Los Altos, Calif., and San Francisco locations.

“With the conversion to all digital TV broadcasting and the great value of new LCD TVs, many consumers are switching out their old analog signal TVs,” says James Kao, GreenCitizen’s founder and CEO. “We want to make sure we are open seven days a week to help San Francisco Bay Area residences and businesses recycle their old TVs and other electronics responsibly. We will not be charging anyone to drop-off and recycle their old TV at any of our three locations, no handling fee, no charge; all sizes welcome.”

"The City of Burlingame warmly welcomes GreenCitizen to Burlingame,” says Mayor Ann Keighran. “GreenCitizen is an example of a company striving to be both a good citizen of the world and profitable. It looks like they are being successful at both goals. We look forward to watching them grow here in Burlingame.”

GreenCitizen offers a variety of customer services, including seven days a week drop-off recycling at its San Francisco, Burlingame, and, Silicon Valley Centers, business pick-up service and data security services, such as hard disk destruction and cell phone erasure. Items accepted include computers, monitors, printers, televisions, cell phones, printer cartridges, batteries and CDs.
