Staples launches technology recycling service

Framingham, Mass. - Staples Advantage, the business-to-business division of Staples, has launched a Technology Recycling Service. The program, offered in partnership with Electronic Recyclers International Inc. (ERI) allows businesses of all sizes to recycle large volumes of electronics in a secure manner.



Staples Advantage’s new program allows businesses to recycle equipment – from cell phones and keyboards to telecom equipment and multi-function devices – via three steps:



1. Order recycling boxes online.



2. Fill boxes with electronics and ship back to Staples using a provided return label.



3. Receive a Certificate of Recycling from Staples that their electronics have been properly recycled and data safely removed. The certificate is accredited by the e-Stewards Initiative, a project of the Basel Action Network, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to the responsible recycling of e-waste.



Staples Advantage will also integrate this offering into its future Managed Print Services contracts. The cost for this service will range from $15 - $500 depending on the size of the box ordered. Customized solutions are also available.
