Staples/HP Earth Week Campaign Has Recycled 6,000 Pounds of Technology Waste (& Counting)
To celebrate Earth Week, Staples & HP have teamed up to give New Yorkers the chance to recycle their outdated electronics for free. The campaign, which kicked off on The Today Show on Mon. April 21, lets anyone drop off their electronics for free recycling at Rockefeller Center Plaza and at Staples 76 stores in the five boroughs and Long Island from April 21-25th.
So far, the campaign has collected 6,000 pounds of electronic waste - including computers, monitors, cell phones and other electronics. By responsibly recycling this waste, we're keeping it out of landfills where it can pollute our air, water and soil.

It's not too late for New Yorkers, and anyone, to get involved.
The free recycling campaign in NYC will continue until April 25th, but anyone can recycle their old printer at any Staples nationwide through May 3rd for free and receive $50 off a new HP printer.
In-store recycling is only one of the ways Staples makes it easy for our customers to protect the environment - what we call EcoEasy. We also offer more than 3,000 eco-friendly products - from biodegradable packing peanuts to Forest Stewardship Council-certified recycled paper.
In fact, we just launched a new web site www.Staples.com/ecoeasy to make it easier for our customers to find many eco-friendly products for their office needs as well as to get more info on innovative recycling services, like Tech Trade In, which lets you recycle your still working technology for Staples coupons.
Earth week, or any week, you can make a difference. Every little bit helps.
