Plug-In To eCycling Partners
Plug-In partners demonstrate leadership and social responsibility by offering individuals opportunities to protect the environment by safely reusing and recycling consumer electronics.
In 2008, Plug-In partners collected and recycled 68 million pounds of used consumer electronics in the US. Click here for highlights of each partner’s 2008 accomplishments.
All Plug-In To eCycling partners have committed to:
- supporting an electronics reuse or recycling program available to household consumers;
- educating consumers about their program; and
- safely managing the electronics they collect by ensuring that the electronics refurbishers and recyclers they use follow the Guidelines for Materials Management.
Since Plug-In To eCycling’s inception in 2003, manufacturers and retailers have expanded their programs from event-based collections to include tailored electronics reuse and recycling programs. These programs provide consumers with additional eCycling options.
The following chart provides a generalized illustration of the types of eCycling programs offered by Plug-In partners and the general category of electronics those programs accept. To learn more about a partner’s electronics collection program visit the company's Web site
