WV Holding E-Scrap Recycling Program

Materials that will be accepted at the event include answering machines, camcorders, compact disc players, copiers, duplicators, electric typewriters, fax machines, hard drives, laptops, mobile phones, modems, pagers, personal computers mouse, and peripherals, printers, printed circuit boards, radios, remote controls, stereos, tape players, telephones and telephone equipment, televisions, VCRs, and word processors.

The event is free, although there is a five unit limit per vehicle.

This collection event marks the second under a grant contract the NCER received from the West Virginia High Technology Consortium Foundation.

The first collection event resulted in the collection of more than 14,000 pounds of electronic devices. The program is a collaboration between the NCER, DEP and Solid Waste Management Board; Amandi Services, formerly Envirocycle, and SDR Technologies.

The program represents a unique partnering of industry, non-profit groups, and government. Seven electronic product manufacturers are sponsoring this event by paying for the recycling costs of their branded products collected, including JVC, Lexmark, Panasonic, Phillips, Sharp, Sony, and Toshiba. 

The non-profit NCER is serving as a third party administrator to arrange with DEP for local electronics recycling collection events and recycling activities. 

Amandi Services, an electronics recycler, has been contracted for the demanufacturing of the collected devices. SDR Technologies will accept plastics from the demanufactured electronics collected at the events to demonstrate how new plastics identification technology can improve the economics of plastics recycling through better identification and separation of commingled electronic polymer waste.
