Free events to be held throughout the year in addressing the issue of responsible recycling of unwanted electronic equipment!

WASHINGTON, D.C. – 18th July, 2019:  Wisetek Solutions, a global leader in IT asset disposal (ITAD), re-use and manufacturing services, today announced a partnership with the D.C Library System and Samsung Electronics America to hold a series of monthly electronic waste recycling events throughout the year.

These free events will allow both members of the public and businesses in Washington, D.C. to recycle used electronic equipment responsibly and conveniently.

Upcoming events will be held at the following dates and venues:

  • July 20 – Mount Pleasant
  • July 27 – Anacostia
  • August 17 – Capitol View
  • August 31 – Petworth
  • Sept 21 – Lamond Riggs
  • Sept 27 – Shaw

 

Acceptable disposable hardware items at these events will include:

Covered Devices

  • Computers (desktops, laptops, tablets, small scale servers)
  • Computer peripheral (computer monitors, desktop printers less than 100 pounds, keyboards, mouse devices, speakers sold with computers)
  • Televisions
  • Television peripherals (DVRs, DVD players, VCRs; signal converter boxes; cable & satellite receivers; game consoles used w/TVs)

 

Zack Boorstein, Vice President of Wisetek USA adds: “We are delighted to be part of such an important event and to be chosen to manage the recycling and repurposing of e-waste equipment across the DC region. With increased obligations on manufacturers to take back e-waste, and growing environmental awareness of this issue, Wisetek is happy to participate in this initiative. Education is key to companies learning more about the global sustainability benefits of equipment re-use and recycling and this strongly reflects the core values of Wisetek’s business internationally.”

“As one of the world’s largest electronics makers, Samsung believes it is our responsibility to use the same innovative mindset in keeping our supply and disposition chains accountable as we do with our products,” said Mark Newton, Head of Environmental, Regulatory Affairs, and Sustainability at Samsung Electronics America. “Our partnership with Wisetek and the D.C Library System is an exciting opportunity to advance our environmental objectives by making e-waste recycling more accessible to residents and businesses in the nation’s capital.”
