August 17, 2007 - Sony has instigated a recycling program specifically for consumer electronics, including its videogame systems. Those who choose to donate their old systems will be rewarded with the satisfaction that comes with knowing they're helping out the environment.
The Sony Take Back Recycling Program will accept any Sony products for free, and competitors' electronics can be dropped off for a charge. The company has partnered with 75 Waste Management (WM) Recycle America eCycling centers across the country. Within the program's first year, the number of centers will increase to at least 150, with at least one location in every state. Sony eventually wants to place a drop-off center within 20 miles of 95 percent of the population.
A complete list of WM Recycle America eCycling Drop-Off centers can be found by calling 1-877-439-2795. If you are currently out of range of a center, you can mail your old consoles to one of the locations.
"We believe it is Sony's responsibility to provide customers with end-of-life solutions for all the products we manufacture," said Stan Glasgow, president and chief operating officer of Sony Electronics.
The Sony Take Back Recycling Program begins September 15.
