COMPUTER RECYCLING FOR EDUCATION LAUNCHES IMPROVEMENTS TO ITS ELECTRONICS WASTE (EWASTE) EDUCATION CAMPAIGN
SACRAMENTO, CA May 2, 2004 – Computer Recycling For Education today launched improvements to its national consumer education campaign to promote the proper disposal of unwanted and obsolete electronics in the home, business and government. The campaign features a cartoon elephant called Ewaste Eddie TM that proclaims, “Remember to Ecycle-it” TM.
“Consumers, business, and municipalities all of the United Stated now can find electronics waste recyclers, refurbishers, and nonprofits who can take their end-of-life (EOL) post-consumer electronics.” said President Al Chaney. The improvements include links to Earth 911, Electronics Industry Association (EIA) and the US Environmental Protection Agency. These three organizations have portals on their website where a consumer, business or municipality can just input ones city, state or zip code and a list of companies or nonprofits closest to you that can take you electronics waste. Most consumer, business and municipalities do not know whom to contact when they need to dispose of electronics waste. Computer Recycling For Education’s Electronics Waste Campaign helps to educate the public on where, and how to safely dispose of electronics waste (e-waste).
Improvements are also in the form of public education. This summer a series for public education presentations will be available. Speaking engagements on the proper disposal of electronics waste are planned for schools, civic organizations, libraries, businesses and municipalities.
“Consumers should practice proper disposal of computer monitors, computers, televisions, cell phones, video games, DVDs, VCRs and audio equipment when their electronics becomes unwanted or obsolete.” said Al Chaney. “Practicing proper disposal of an electronics item is the best way to ensure that harmful chemicals contained in electronics are not released into the environment through illegal disposal”.
The new public education campaign includes a public service announcement and informational materials for consumers, retailers, educators, recyclers, solid waste professionals and municipalities. Information about the campaign is available on the website at:
