Sunnking collects 1 mn pounds of e-waste in New York since April

BROCKPORT, USA (Scrap Monster): Since April 1, 2011 over 1 million pounds of residential TV's, computers, monitors, printers, scanners, mice, keyboards and other electronic equipment have been responsibly recycled and diverted from waste streams within New York State by Sunnking Inc., a local electronics recycling, data destruction, and asset management company.

The 1 million pounds of electronics were collected through 42 separate one day residential electronics recycling drives, hosted in conjunction with over 100 town municipalities, local businesses, organizations and nonprofits in New York State. The goal of the recycling events was to offer a free and convenient means for the public and small businesses/nonprofits to recycle their old or unwanted electronics and equipment according to the New York State Electronic Equipment Recycling & Reuse Act which went into effect on April 1, 2011.

One of Sunnking's residential recycling event goals is to help provide charitable partners with funds to further their cause. Two successful fundraising events this year included the We-Cycle Donation Program in partnership with Foodlink, and the E-Scrap For Camp fundraiser that benefited Camp Good Days. Combined, Sunnking was able to donate almost $15,000 to these two great nonprofits in 2011.
