Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. announced the expansion of its corporate social responsibility program in the San Francisco Bay Area with the unveiling of a winter season green recycling program at 10 public schools in the San Francisco area.
The community program, starting Dec. 19, 2009, seeks to broaden community awareness about responsible electronics recycling and promote environment protection consciousness. The electronics recycling program also invites neighborhood residents to drop off their used electronics on the assigned event date at one of the ten schools participating in the program and have them recycled for free.
Funds raised through Samsung’s recycling program will benefit participating schools by matching donated funds to the district’s Free and Reduced Lunch program.
Sims Recycling Solutions will provide electronics recycling, precious metal refining, remarketing and asset management solutions tailored to the individual needs of its corporate clients. SRS’s California facilities are authorized to handle SB 20/50 materials, and the company has a convenient eCycle Box designed especially for individuals and small businesses who want to responsibly recycle their electronics.
Accepted items include: TVs, monitors, desktop and laptop computers, printers, keyboards, mice, radios, stereos, speakers, DVD and CD players, VCRs, MP3 players, PDAs and cell phones.
