The Sony Take Back Recycling Program
What do you do with your old laptops, computers and digital products? To encourage consumers to recycle and dispose of electronic devices in an environmentally sound manner, Sony will be launching a national recycling program for consumer electronics on the 15 Sept 2007. The Sony Take Back Recycling Program allows consumers to recycle all Sony-branded products for NO FEE at 75 Waste Management (WM) Recycle America eCycling drop-off centers throughout the U.S.
This is done in collaboration with WM Recycle America, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Waste Management, Inc. The program also allows consumers to recycle other manufacturers’ consumer electronics products at market prices, and may include a recycling fee for some types of materials. Recycling not only minimizes the amount of waste disposed, it also minimizes the extraction of new raw materials from the earth and resources required for processing, saving energy and reducing greenhouse gases in the process, as reported by the press release.
