| As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, more and more consumers are looking to replace their outdated equipment with new, energy-efficient products. However, with technology constituting an estimated 87.5 percent of landfill toxic waste, it is vital for consumers to understand the importance of recycling technology in an environmentally responsible manner.
To make electronic recycling easier, Green is Universal has partnered with WNBC and GreeNYC to present Green Screens, an electronic recycling event.
For those who can't bring their electronics during these dates or live outside of New York City, call Electronic Recyclers at 1-800-RECYCLING to schedule a pick-up in your area. |

| In most communities, it easier to discard packaging in the garbage then it is to recycle it; an example of society promoting a linear lifecycle of a product. Our goal at RecycleBank? is to create incentives for households to recycle by giving them a large portion of the value derived from their giving birth to a cyclical product lifecycle.
