1-800-Recycling.com Partners with MyZeroWaste.com
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--It was announced today that 1-800-Recycling.com,
an interactive nationwide company dedicated to simplifying and enhancing
the consumer recycling experience, has partnered with www.MyZeroWaste.com,
a blog and informational site started by a concerned family to help
other households reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills.
?At MyZeroWaste.com we work to challenge the everyday consumer to take
simple steps to reduce their waste contribution?
Based in Britain, MyZeroWaste.com, with its practical tips and candid
personal anecdotes shared by the site?s creators, has grown
dramatically, with an audience that extends well beyond British borders.
Through the new partnership with 1-800-Recycling.com, MyZeroWaste.com
will be able to help simplify the recycling process for its American
readers.
Via its mobile App, online resource and phone service, 1-800-Recycling
provides information about recycling services and facilities to anyone,
anywhere by zip code. Designed to make the recycling process easy and
more accessible, 1-800-Recycling.com?s widget will now also be a
clickable icon on the MyZeroWaste.com site.
This week?s launch of the relationship is particularly timely as it
immediately precedes MyZeroWaste.com?s annual ?National Zero Waste
Week,? taking place the week beginning September 6th, 2010.
This year?s theme is ?Cooking for Victory? in response to recently
revealed statistics that English households throw away 8.3 million tons
of food and drink every year. MyZeroWaste.com challenges its readers to
take a pledge to reduce food waste and share their activities on the
blog.
?At MyZeroWaste.com we work to challenge the everyday consumer to take
simple steps to reduce their waste contribution,? said Rachelle ?Mrs.
Green? Strauss, Founder and Chief Blogger at MyZeroWaste.com. ?Our
vision is ultimately for a zero waste UK ? a country where we rethink
our rubbish and start to view it as a resource rather than a waste
product. It may sound like a challenging goal, but we believe it can be
accomplished if approached step by step. A zero waste Britain is
possible if more energy, money and care is put into education,
innovative product design and recycling facilities. With recycling being
such a significant part of our mission, it makes sense to be partnering
with 1-800-Recycling.com to help our American friends find responsible
recyclers in their immediate areas.?
?We are extremely proud to be partnering with a the MyZeroWaste team,?
said John Shegerian, Chairman and CEO of Electronic Recyclers
International, the US? leading recycler of electronics and e-waste, and
parent company of 1-800-Recycling.com. ?1-800-Recycling shares a common
mission with MyZeroWaste ? to provide our users with greater
accessibility to a greener life. Our hats are off to Rachelle and her
family and the down-to-earth way they have chronicled their own
experiences ? sharing what works and what doesn?t with their ever
growing audience of readers. Through our new relationship, we will now
be able to offer MyZeroWaste?s American followers with an easy way to
recycle their unwanted items and keep them out of landfills.?
