Sharp Electronics Corporation today announced that it has established a
nationwide electronics program to provide consumers with no-cost, convenient
recycling of Sharp televisions and other consumer audio and video products.
Beginning January 15, 2009 Sharp will expand its current recycling program to
280 sites nationwide, including at least one location in all 50 states, with
hundreds more sites planned over the next three years.
Sharp's recycling program will utilize the infrastructure developed by the
Electronics Manufacturers Recycling Management Company (MRM). A joint venture
between Panasonic, Sharp Electronics and Toshiba, MRM was established in
September of 2007 to efficiently manage collection and recycling programs for
electronics manufacturers in the United States.
