Sony to put up eCycling centers to recycle electronics
Sony‘s looking all green as they launch their new recycling program. By next month Sony will be launching a new nationwide campaign where people will be able to dispose of their unwanted electronics in an environmentally safe manner.
The Sony Take Back Recycling Program will be putting up 75 “eCycling” centers throughout the US where people can drop off their electronics.
Once the program takes off, the program is expected to increase the number of eCycling centers to 150. The idea is to have an eCycling Center within 20 miles of 95% of the US.
The program was made in collaboration with WM Recycle America. Sony products will be recylced free of charge while other brands will include a recycling fee. Consumers can either drop if off personally or ship it in through specific WM Recycle America locations.
Stan Glasgow, president and chief operating officer of Sony Electronics, says about the service:
Providing the highest level of service and support doesnÂ’t stop once a purchase is made. We believe it is SonyÂ’s responsibility to provide customers with end-of-life solutions for all the products we manufacture. Through the Take Back Recycling Program, our customers will know that their Sony products will be recycled in an environmentally responsible manner.
