Users of My Recycle List App Could Win Free iPad

1-800-RECYCLING.com is now offering the chance to win a free Apple iPad to those who download its iPhone app, My Recycle List. The app is a user-friendly tool designed to help anyone anywhere participate in the recycling of items they would otherwise throw away.

Anyone who downloads, rates and reviews the app using a functioning e-mail address and fills out a short contest form will be eligible to win the free iPad. The winner will be selected randomly from all eligible entries received between July 14 and September 1.

“Our free app is a perfect addition to the selection of tools we are providing through 1-800-RECYCLING.com to make the recycling process easier,” said John Shegerian, Chairman and CEO of Electronic Recyclers International (ERI), the nation’s leading recycler of electronics and e-waste, and parent company of 1-800-RECYCLING.com. “And what better way to encourage people to take part in the recycling process than to offer as incentive a chance to win an Apple iPad?”

Shegerian added that the winner will be announced via email and Facebook on September 2.

The first fully comprehensive “all items, all ZIP codes” recycling app designed for the iPhone, My Recycle List is now available at the Apple App store and enables the user to quickly find recycling locations nearby that accept items the user selects from a list. The app enables the user to easily organize locations by adding them to a personalized list — like an intuitive grocery list for recyclers.

1-800-RECYCLING.com provides users with nationwide outreach to help users find recycling locations nearest to them (every ZIP code in the country is covered) for whatever it is they wish to recycle. The new app, 1-800-RECYCLING.com and the 1-800-RECYCLING phone service all direct users to responsible recyclers of electronics, tires, oil, paint, glass, plastic, wood, mattresses, carpet, junk — nearly anything that can be recycled.
