by Shane Henson — October 3, 2011—To help businesses in New York State comply with a new law mandating responsible electronic waste (e-waste) recycling, eRecycleNY officially launched its New York office, offering a cost-effective, Environmental Protection Agency-compliant option for businesses needing to dispose of electronic items. The program could serve as a model for those in other cities to comply with e-waste legislation as more is enacted in various localities.
As an added benefit for companies needing assistance managing their e-waste and who want to give back to their city, the company’s “Save our Planet, Save our Schools” program will remit a percentage of referred sales to Parent Teacher Associations at participating public schools, making the company the only recycling vendor in New York to support New York City schools.
eRecycleNY was founded by Stephen and Jodi Leone, Brooklyn parents with more than 20 years’ experience in waste management and recycling. According to the founders, eRecycleNY offers key advantages over other collection and disposal companies:
- eRecycleNY has partnered with WeRecycle!, a national leader in responsible electronics recycling known for meeting the industry’s highest environmental certifications (E-Stewards and ISO 14001), as its exclusive representative to the NYC business community. All e-waste collected by eRecycleNY will be processed responsibly by WeRecycle!
- eRecycleNY provides e-waste recycling in conjunction with on-site hard drive destruction—a convenient option for businesses to witness their confidential information being destroyed while recycling responsibly.
- eRecycleNY serves business customers directly, without a middleman, creating significant cost savings.
