WMRA Joins with iGo to Offer Electronics Recycling

Management Recycle America (WMRA), a wholly owned subsidiary of Houston-based Waste Management, has partnered with iGo, Shelton, Conn., a leading provider of portable power solutions, to provide recycling services for iGo electronic scrap.

Through the “iGo Recycles” consumer electronics and charger recycling program, iGo customers can mail back their used products, which WMRA will process to recover valuable components for reuse. WMRA, an ISO-certified partner, says it will recycle this material in conjunction with the Basel Action Network (BAN) Electronics Recycler’s Pledge of True Stewardship. In accordance with this program, WM Recycle America processes all hazardous materials domestically, protects workers’ health and tracks electronic scrap throughout the recycling chain.

“We are always looking for new partners and new ways to increase the recycling of e-waste, one of the fastest growing consumer waste streams,” says Patrick DeRueda, president of WMRA. “Our partnership with iGo will help capture and recycle more electronic equipment and instead of disposing these materials, repurpose them into new consumer goods.”
