Waste Management through its Recycle America Asset Recovery Group subsidiary is launching a new and improved service for recycling electronics nationwide.
eCycling services is a customized approach to recycling discarded electronics, computers, communications equipment, and many other related streams.
Local and state governments, OEMs, commercial businesses and others can utilize a national network of drop off centers, collection depots and regional processing centers operated by Waste Management and affiliated companies.
"We are excited to introduce eCycling as our branded nationwide electronics recycling service," stated Kevin McCarthy, director of Electronics Recycling for Waste Management Recycle America. "Our national network of collection and processing facilities continues to expand to provide enhanced customer convenience in an environmentally responsible manner."
Recycle America receives, sorts, disassembles as appropriate, consolidates and recycles electronics with an emphasis on domestic markets. Our goal is to reuse and recycle all of the material we collect and process. Only domestic markets are utilized for end of life products containing cathode ray tubes (CRTs).
Waste Management's eCycling service is distinct and separate from the eCycling project underway in U.S. EPA's Region III.
This innovative project is a partnership among EPA Region III, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia to recycle unwanted computers, computer equipment, and televisions. Environmental officials in these states are working with the Electronics Industry Alliance, electronics retailers, waste management companies, and electronics recyclers on the project.
