Sony recycles electronics Courtesy of http://www.geercom.com.
Welcome!
Sony recycling electronics
While some companies give back by giving, others give by taking away. Sony is watching out for the environment by offering its Take Back Recycling Program to recycle consumer electronics in the U.S.: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2007-08/17/content_6547380.htm. The products must be Sony brand (though the program does cover recycling other consumer electronics at some cost).
Consumers can drop recyclable Sony hardware at 75 Waste Management Recycle America eCycling sites across America, no charge, starting on September 15. Sony and Waste Management expect the number of participating sites to grow to 150 or more.
The companies also expect to eventually have enough drop sites so that most Americans can find a site close to them. People can also ship their used items in.
Today, a very small percentage of consumer electronics are recycled, with most going to landfills.
