Houston, TX – July 22, 2009 – Waste Management Recycle America, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Waste Management, today announced a partnership with iGo, a leading provider of innovative portable power solutions, to increase domestic electronics recycling and reduce landfill waste. Through this partnership, WM Recycle America, the nation’s largest residential recycler, will provide environmentally certified recycling services for iGo electronic waste.

Through the "iGo Recycles" consumer electronics and charger recycling program, iGo customers can mail back their used products, which WM Recycle America will process to recover valuable components for reuse. WM Recycle America, an ISO Certified partner, recycles this material in conjunction with the Basel Action Network (BAN) Electronics Recycler’s Pledge of True Stewardship. In accordance with this program, WM Recycle America processes all hazardous materials domestically, protects workers’ health and tracks e-waste throughout the recycling chain.

"We are always looking for new partners and new ways to increase the recycling of e-waste, one of the fastest growing consumer waste streams," said Patrick DeRueda, president of WM Recycle America. "Our partnership with iGo will help capture and recycle more electronic equipment and instead of disposing discarding these materials, repurpose them into new consumer goods."

WM Recycle America has partnered with a number of the nation’s largest consumer electronics brands to encourage consumer electronics recycling. Through these programs, Sony and LG customers can drop off all of their Sony, LG, Zenith or GoldStar e-waste for free at the more than 200 plus eCycling drop-off centers across the country. For a full list of eCycling drop-off centers, please visit http://www.wm.com/wm/services/recycling_ecycle.asp.

As part of Waste Management’s ongoing sustainability initiative, the company plans to nearly triple the total volume of materials it recycles from 8 million tons to more than 20 million tons by 2020. In addition to traditionally recycled materials such as paper, plastic and metals, the company is also processing other materials such as compact fluorescent bulbs, batteries and other household electronics.
