Frequently
Asked Questions
1.
What Does Keep
America Green do?
We’re
filling a “gap”
that exists in
American recycling
programs.
We create and
facilitate the
recycling of
“Electronic
Waste.”
Specifically,
we recycle
CellPhones, printer
toners and laser
cartridges.
We’re one
of the few Recycling
companies that offer
“Revenue
Producing”
electronic waste
recycling programs.
As a
bonus…a portion of
all proceeds
generated through
recycling help
expand our
charitable
fundraising
programs!
2. What is the
Electronic Waste
Problem in America?
Similar
to computers, the
continuous cycle of
newer, better
devices launching
frequently has
created a growing,
massive, pile-up of
electronic waste
such as used
CellPhones, printer
toners and laser
cartridges. The consequences of “throwing away” eWaste can negatively
affect our health
and environment! The
current Electronic
Waste Scenario is
that 65,000
tons of toxic,
electronic trash are
amassed every year
and continue to
gather dust and
threaten the
environment.
Annually,
over 140 million
used phones and 400
million toners
become useless
trash! Household
Hazardous Waste
charges a $5 fee for
Each Used CellPhone
turned in for
recycling.
3.
Why is it
Important that Used
Cellphones be
recycled?
Used
CellPhones contain
toxins such as lead,
arsenic and cadmium
that are linked to
cancer and
neurological
disorders;
especially in
children.
With over 140
million CellPhones
becoming
“antiquated”
each year, the time
for a national
solution has
arrived.
4.
Why is it
Important that Used
Toners and
Cartridges be
recycled?
They
contain Oil and
toxins!
It’s
estimated that 400
million used toners
& cartridges are
tossed each
year…which contain
over 100 million
quarts of oil and
would wrap around
the earth if laid
out end to end!!
5.
How Can Recycling
Used Cell Phones and
Toners Be Easy?
Because
Everyone has them
lying around!
The Inform
report has found
that there are over
300 Million Used
phones lying around
and there’ll be
700 Million
gathering dust by
2006! All you have
to do is use our
FREE, EZ, awareness
materials (flyers,
email notifications,
posters) to get the
word out to everyone
associated with your
organization to
bring in their
useless, electronic
trash to help
preserve our health,
environment and
charities!
6.
How Can Recycling
Used Cell Phones and
Toners Be
Profitable?
We
pay top dollar for
Used Phones, Toners
& Cartridges!
A group of
300 persons can
raise b/t $3k-$5k
within a few days!!
7.
How will Recycling
Used Phones, Toners
and Cartridges help
raise employee
morale and our
community image?
Everyone
that learns about
your
organizations’
participation in
Recycling Electronic
Waste will be proud
and feel great that
you’re making
positive
contributions that
go beyond just
“making a
profit.”
People like
to “FEEL” that
they’re making a
positive difference
with their lives
and/or working
for/patronizing
organizations that
are like minded!
