Sunnking Hosts Free Electronics Recycling Day In Rochester With 13WHAM & Zeller Corporation
ROCHESTER, NY (June 7, 2011) – Sunnking Electronics Recycling, 13WHAM, and Zeller Corporation will be hosting Electronics Recycling Day 2011 on Saturday, June 18th, from 8am - 2pm. The event will take place in the parking lots of Zeller Corporation located at 1000 University Avenue, Rochester, NY 14607. Any residents in the Rochester area are encouraged to come to this FREE electronics recycling event!
Electronics Recycling Day has been a huge success for the Sunnking, 13WHAM, Zeller trio in the past. In 2009, the group set a statewide record in New York where they collected 238,217 pounds of e-scrap for recycling. The team is gearing up again this year and have set their sights on breaking the record again with the help of the Rochester community. This year with the addition of the Sunnking/Foodlink We-Cycle Donation Program, everyone who recycles at this event will help benefit Foodlink’s cause to feed hungry with a monetary donation from Sunnking based on the volume of e-scrap collected. As an added bonus, everyone who brings an electronic item to recycle at this event will receive a coupon for 10% off refurbished computer equipment at the Sunnking retail center located at 203 Main Street in Brockport.
“The event two years ago was a huge success,” says Sunnking’s President/Owner Duane Beckett. “We had a line of cars stretching down the road ready to recycle their gear from the moment the event began, and it didn’t stop for two days. At some times we were unloading over 250 cars every hour, and if it wasn’t for the teamwork and cooperation of 13WHAM and Zeller Corporation we never would have pulled it off. We’re all very excited about this year’s event, and there are over 50 volunteers ready to break some new state records.”
Residents are encouraged to bring electronics such as laptops, desktops, computer accessories, TV’s, monitors, audio/video equipment, mp3 players, communications equipment, servers & IT equipment, printers, scanners, copiers, fax machines, cellphones, PDA’s, medical/lab equipment, and anything else with a circuit board or cord.
