Public-private
regional e-waste recycling program launches in St. Louis
Feb. 13A public-private recycling
cooperative has launched a regional electronics recycling program in the
St. Louis area.
E-Cycle St. Louis, a partnership between local government and
electronics recyclers, is encouraging residents to drop off old
electronics at 10 locations scattered throughout St. Louis. A mixture of
nonprofit groups, privately owned companies and government entities
operate the sites.
The registered host sites are open to the public, and each has its
own fee structure, charging residents specific fees for different types
of items. Equipment will be refurbished and reused or recycled,
depending on its condition.
The St. Louis Regional Partnership for Electronics Recovery formed in
2002 to develop an areawide consumer electronics program.
