Chatsworth, CA – In honor of America Recycles Day (November 15th)
Planet Green, in partnership with Neuwaste Business Recycling, used its parking lot as a drop-off site for unwanted electronic waste. San Fernando Valley residents and businesses dropped off thousands of pounds of electronic waste over the hot November weekend and found out more about future recycling opportunities with Planet Green. PG is an inkjet remanufacturing company that manges one of the largest recycling programs in the US.

The event was a big success. An entire 53’ truck was filled with e-waste, including computers, printers, cellphones and more than 100 Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors.

Sean Levi, Planet Green’s founder and CEO, has been supporting these events as a way for Valley community members to have a decent resource for recycling their e-waste. “We mainly focus on printer cartridges and cell phones,” Levi said, “but we are well aware that people are also looking to properly dispose of their big items, and an event like this is the best way to do that. This is also a great way to get to know our neighbors.”

Planet Green’s very own Recycling Program Director, Roberta Brodsky, was ecstatic about the events turnout, exclaiming “It’s great to see so many people from the community come together and work towards a common goal; a greener tomorrow.” 

All the items collected will go through a proper dismantling and disposal process before they are recycled into new products or materials. All private information will be destroyed using a state-of-the-art wiping process.

Future e-waste collection events are in the works! For more information contact: Roberta Brodsky – 818-725-2596, robertab@planetgreenrecycle.com
