WM Recycle America, a subsidiary of Houston-based Waste Management, has introduced its WM NYeCycles Service, which the company says has been designed to help electronics manufacturers comply with the State of New York’s Electronic Equipment Recycling and Reuse Act.
As of April 1, 2011, the New York act mandates manufacturers of certain electronic equipment to establish convenient systems for the collection, handling and recycling or re-use of electronic scrap sold in the state.
WMI, through its WM NYeCycles Service, offers 148 permanent electronics recycling locations in the state. WMI claims it has more permanent locations that any other service provider in the state.
WM NYeCycles Service offers various collection methods, including an established network of collection sites, mail-back programs and community electronics recycling events, all designed to help meet manufacturers' collection goals and requirements, according to the company.
A list of WM NYeCycles Service sites in New York can be found at www.greenopolis.com/wm/nyecycles.
Regional Computer Recycling and Recovery, Victor, N.Y., will process the collected electronics.
