Another consumer electronics manufacturer is getting on the e-waste bandwagon: this time it’s South Korean giant Samsung, which has just announced Samsung Recycling Direct, a program that will enable consumers in all 50 states to recycle Samsung-branded consumer electronics devices like televisions, monitors, DVD players, home theater systems, cameras, camcorders, printers, peripherals—essentially, all Samsung-branded consumer electronics. The exception will be home appliances, which can’t be accepted at al the drop-off points, although a growing number will be accepting them. Recycling for Samsung-branded electronics will be free; consumers can also drop off non-Samsung electronics for recycling and safe disposal for a nominal fee. The program will include a number of collection sites, including permanent drop-off centers in all 50 U.S. states.
