Free e-waste recycling

December 7, 2007

Got electronics to toss that you know shouldn’t end up in a landfill? Here are two options.

Electronic Recyclers Inc. through the Big Fresno Fair this Saturday is offering free electronic waste recycling from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

There is no limit on how many items you can bring to recycle, but there is a limit on what’s accepted. Electronic Recyclers will be taking electronics including cell phones and plug-ins, but nothing containing Freon.

The Big Fresno Fairgrounds
1121 S. Chance Avenue
Fresno, Ca. 93702.
Enter the parking lot off of Kings Canyon Boulevard, just east of Chance Avenue (Gate 6) Call 559-650-FAIR for more info.

Also, if you have cell phones to recycle this holiday season and have been shopping Amazon.com for gifts, check your boxes for the included “Cell Phones for Soldiers” cell phone recycling envelope.

Drop an old cell phone with the power turned off in the pre-paid envelope and Cell Phones for Soldiers will pass it along to ReCellular, a company that refurbishes, reuses and recycles the phones, giving Cell Phones for Soldiers phone cards worth about an hour of talk time for each handset that they collect. Those cards are in turn sent to the troops.

You can also print out free shipping labels from their Web site.

Yes, good system of collecting old mobile phones for recycling. I do recycle mobile phones with www.fonebank.com and get my amount within 3 days maximum!

phone recycle commented:

Good idea of recycle mobiles ?Cell Phones for Soldiers? But i think there was a restriction in defence that no soldier should hold and use a cell phone, due to security reasons.

100 % Eco Friendly recycling In this world we have become as humans consumers. We consume every thing. The problem arises when we forget that what we consume, then throw away, not all of our waste gets properly disposed of. Not seen, not thought of right? When our electrical items fail we just throw them away not thinking of where they go. Here is how you can insure that when you discard your items, your items do not land up in a land fill, or over seas just to pollute a more poverty stricken area: Make sure that your recycler only uses a complete Eco friendly down stream for the materials being recycled. This means that when you discard a TV or old computer it only goes to processes that will be completely Eco and human friendly. Recycling should not be at the cost of our environment or the cost of human rights and safety. We as a company could make hundreds more on these materials we collect for free, if we just turn our heads and say, not seen not thought of. We feel that if we can prove that recycling can be done in the cleanest safest way possible so that our environment, and the people who live in it, are not injured in the process, we might just show that recycling can be a culture not a cost. If we as recyclers do not take this philosophy, then we our selves will pose an environmental risk instead of a solution. Some times a little less profit can still benefit everyone in the process. Recycle please, but do it completely Eco friendly. Besides that.............profit will not matter after a while.......we will end up polluting our selves out of a planet in the long run if we do not start practicing this soon.
