Envirocycle Inc. has opened an electronic recycling consolidation center in Hayward, Calif. The facility, a collection and consolidation point for the Northwest U.S., prepares recyclable materials for shipment to the Rancho Cucamonga plant for processing.
The facility has applied to the California Integrated Waste Management Board and the Department of Toxic Substances to collect and recycle electronics and will be authorized to participate in the CEW payment system under California’s Senate Bill 20.
“Envirocycle is expanding quickly, having just opened processing centers in San Diego and Rancho Cucamonga in the last few months, with a soon to open West Virginia operation,” Envirocycle COO Greg Voorhees says. “We see an urgent need for collection centers like Hayward, which will allow us to reach our customers more quickly, efficiently and at less expense.”
Envirocycle, with corporate offices in Hallstead, Pa., offers complete recycling services from dismantling of electronics to asset management, and specializes in glass-to-glass recycling. It is one of the largest processors of post-consumer cathode ray tube (CRT) glass in the country.
Envirocycle accepts all types of electronics, from mainframe computers to PDAs, with the only exceptions being smoke detectors and thermostats.
California residents and businesses are encouraged to bring their obsolete equipment to the Hayward facility between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, or to schedule a pick-up by calling (510) 299-3957.
Monitors and TVs are accepted free of charge, but there may be a small fee to cover the cost of recycling for other items.
