HP, WeRecycle! Host successful e-scrap event.(ELECTRONICS RECYCLING)

In late August, the computer recycling firm WeReycle! Inc., based in Wallingford, Conn., along with Hewlett Packard and the Maryland Department of Environment held a free consumer electronics recycling event in Baltimore.

The one-day event resulted in the collection of more than nine tons of electronics that otherwise would have been disposed of at landfills.

The event also satisfies HP's requirements for a free computer take-back program as part of Maryland's Computer Recycling Pilot Program.

Baltimore was the second in a series of two HP collection events in Maryland. The first was held in Easton, Md. Combined, the events diverted more than 14 tons of electronics from municipal solid waste landfills.
