How to Recycle Your Household Electronics
It is estimated that nearly 65 million computers will be retired in 2007.
Whole Foods is currently teaming with E-cycle Environmental to safely and environmentally recycle your obsolete electronics.
If you're in West Hollywood, visit the temporary recycling station this Saturday, November 10th (9am - 2pm) at the Whole Foods location on Santa Monica Boulevard at Fairfax. We plan on stopping by to recycle some dead mobile phones.
If you're not in La-la land, check your local Whole Foods website or Google "Whole Foods E-cycle Environmental" for a list in your area. We found additional dates in Campbell (San Jose), CA and Monterey. The Washington, DC markets are teaming with another vendor.
E-cycle Environmental mechanically shreds all electronics and recycles the materials domestically. What do they accept?
- TVs
- Computer monitors
- Computer systems and components
- Copy and fax machines
- Scanners
- Printers
- Cell phones and telephones
- CD and DVD players
- Stereo equipment
- Batteries
- Wiring and electrical cords
Awesome! Thanks for the tip - I've been driving around with two broken tv's in my trunk for about a week. LOL! I'll look them up now.
