ASL Recycling unveiled 49 GREENspot e-waste drop-off locations that opened today throughout Northern California, and announced plans to open more throughout the entire state over the coming months. Now, consumers and businesses that need an easy and convenient way to recycle their old electronics have access to the first ever state-wide network of convenient drop-off locations that accept old TVs, monitors, computers, cell phones and other electronics for free.

Electronic waste, or e-waste, is an environmental challenge that we continue to face as consumers rush to own the newest, fastest, smallest electronics — creating the fastest-growing category of municipal solid waste. Despite the fact that California is leading the nation with its e-waste recycling initiatives, the inconvenient truth about e-waste recycling is that it is still not convenient enough for people to get rid of their old electronics.

Unlike other recyclable waste, there is no ‘blue bin’ equivalent for curbside collection of e-waste, and most California residents simply don’t know what to do with it. By visiting http://www.aslgreenspot.com and typing in a ZIP, it’s easy for anyone to find a nearby drop-off location.

“Now, it’s just as easy to recycle an old gadget as it is to buy a new one,” said Carey Levine, vice president of sales and marketing at ASL Recycling. “What we hear from consumers is that they want to do the right thing, but they’re not sure how. We are dedicated to raising public awareness about e-waste with our three easy steps to recycling: go to aslgreenspot.com, enter your ZIP code, and find a nearby drop-off location. It’s easy. It’s free. It’s green.”

What to recycle, and why
E-waste accepted at GREENspot drop-off locations includes TVs, cell phones, audio-video components, computer equipment, microwave ovens, electronic equipment from offices and labs, and more. These items are potentially toxic to the environment and by choosing to recycle them, Californians can help divert e-waste from landfills. All GREENspot drop-off locations feed their e-waste to ASL Recycling’s state-approved plants, which use an environmentally friendly e-waste recycling process.

“We experienced an overwhelming industry response to last month’s formation of the GREENetwork, with 49 GREENspot locations opening in Northern California. We will expand the GREENetwork so that, by spring of this year, residents and businesses throughout the entire state will have access to the free and convenient e-waste drop-off locations,” added Levine.

A complete list of recycling locations is attached. A complete list of recycling locations, with addresses, is available here.

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) April 29, 2008

“You can’t always get what you want,” the Rolling Stones sang, “but sometimes, you get what you need.” That’s the impetus behind one online casual game company’s increasingly popular promotional game where the prizes are Exxon gas cards worth $500 and $50. The site, http://www.WinGasCard.com, is a product of the AdverGame Network, a Charlotte, NC based online video advertising company that has developed a unique niche in the casual game sector, one of the most popular on the Internet.

According to a Parks Associates report, 34% of U.S. Internet households play online games on a weekly basis, compared with 29% who watch short online videos and 19% who visit social networking sites with the same frequency.

“We don’t just want to be fun,” says Matt Coapman, the company’s vice president of business development, “we want to be pertinent as well.”

That’s not to say that the AdverGame Network isn’t giving people what they want as well.

“We already had game sites giving away high desire items like $700 designer handbags and Wii game consoles,” added Coapman. “We’ve given away iPods and Las Vegas vacations, MacBook laptops and digital cameras. That’s what people want. For this one, we felt the urgency to give people something they needed.”

There’s no cost to consumers as all AdverGame Network game sites are free-to-play.

It’s a winning situation for advertisers and sponsors as well. A video player adjacent to the game is always on screen, streaming advertisements and content geared towards the audience that the prize attracts.

“There’s nothing like it in the market. We offer prizes that attract a particular demographic,” says Coapman, admitting though that the current gas card game is universally popular. The designer handbags attracted a strong female audience while the Wii games skewed more towards younger males.

The free gas card game runs through June 29th and offers second chance drawings as well as instant win opportunities. The game is not sponsored by Exxon Mobil Corp.

“We work with great companies in creating these fun games that also offer great benefit to the consumer,” says Coapman. “But for this one, given the way gas prices are skyrocketing, we wanted to get it up fast and didn’t want to wait for a sponsor. We chose to buy Exxon cards for the giveaway because of their national footprint, which would make it more available to our winners.”

“That said, we would love to talk with them or any other oil company that wants to help people out in a fun way until prices come down. Until then, this is our way of giving back,” states Coapman.
