LG Electronics Recycling Program Gaining Momentum

The nationwide electronics recycling program launched this month by LG Electronics USA Inc. will expand to include drop-off sites on all 50 states, the company says.

Designed to offer consumers a responsible way to recycle tens of millions of unwanted television sets, computer monitors and other consumer electronics products, the LG Electronics Recycling Program was launched Aug. 1 in cooperation with Waste Management’s subsidiary WM Recycle America LLC.

Under the LG Electronics program, products recycled free-of-charge include LG, Zenith and Goldstar brands of televisions, monitors, audio equipment, video cassette players and recorders, DVD players and recorders, combination TV/VCR and TV/DVD units, set top boxes and accessories associated with those products. The LG-WM Recycle America program also allows consumers to recycle other manufacturers’ consumer electronics products for a modest fee.

“People are seeking services to help them recycle electronic scrap responsibly and economically,” says Patrick DeRueda, president of WM Recycle America. “This program serves consumers’ needs by offering a convenient and cost-effective waste management solution, while demonstrating our shared commitment to providing outstanding customer service and leadership in environmental stewardship.”

The electronic materials collected for LG will be processed in an environmentally responsible manner at Waste Management facilities that are ISO 14001 and 9001 certified, the press release states.
