California Schools to Celebrate America Recycles Day with a Million Pound E-Waste Challenge Beginning November 5th

As part of a statewide effort to celebrate America Recycles Day on November 15th, California public and private schools will offer a viable solution for communities to rid their homes and businesses of electronic waste in an environmentally safe and responsible manner. Hundreds of schools throughout the State of California will participate in a Million Pound E-Waste Challenge beginning November 5th thru December 5th, 2011. California Schools are partnering with All Green Electronics Recycling to provide a safe and convenient way for communities to dispose of their unwanted and unused electronics. For more information about the event and a list of school locations, please visit www.allgreenrecycling.com/america-recycles-pledge.php or contact Ruth Buske at (800) 780-0347.

All Green Electronics Recycling, one of the nation's leading E-waste solutions providers, has pledged to donate $50,000 or more of the proceeds to participating schools based on the volume collected during the month-long challenge.

Among the items being accepted for donation that day will be computers, monitors, laptops, televisions, VCRs, DVD players, cell phones, mp3 players, ink toner cartridges, printers, microwaves, cables and wires, calculators and any small or portable electronics. www.allgreenrecycling.com.

All Green Electronics Recycling President Arman Sadeghi said: "Students, parents, teachers, administrators and custodians are all in support of our program and we aim to continue this tradition annually!"

In 2011, the E-waste recycler partnered with more than 100 public and private schools throughout the state of California for its community E-waste collections, and donated a portion of the proceeds back to each partnering school.

All Green Electronics Recycling will partner with public and private schools K-12 in San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, Corona, Fresno, Bakersfield, San Jose, San Francisco, Sacramento and Stockton.

All items collected at the roundup will be responsibly processed in North America with a zero-landfill policy.
