Founded two years ago, All Green Electronics Recycling is a full-service electronics recycler and
collector. It offers pick-up services as well as hundreds of convenient drop-off locations, nationwide.
Currently, it collects more than two million pounds of electronics per month. All Green Electronics
Recycling announces its new national headquarters' grand opening on January 13, 2011 from 5:30 p.m.
to 7:30 p.m. ---- a Green Carpet Event ---- followed by a free, three-day electronics recycling event
aimed at giving back to the local community in Orange County. Both are open to the public and are
located at: 15561 Del Amo Ave. in Tustin.
"We are particularly excited about the promising new job opportunities available for California
residents," says Arman Sadeghi, CEO, All Green Electronics Recycling.
All Green is growing at jaw-dropping rates. While many companies continue to cut back and lay
off valuable employees, All Green has hired a new person every 4.1 days since its incorporation and
is predicted to hire another 100 employees in the next six months.
In addition to new jobs, many local non-profits and schools will also benefit. All Green is creating
community partnerships and setting up collection events while donating a percentage of the proceeds
from the recycled electronics.
Rather than allowing old televisions or computers to end up at the dump, All Green provides
the public with a way of recycling their old working or non-working electronics safely and responsibly
for free. In fact, those with at least 10 computers, monitors and televisions can go to:
http://www.allgreenrecycling.com to schedule a free pick up in many areas.
Unlike many of its competitors, the company sorts and separates all e-waste within their warehouse
and does not ship anything overseas for processing. It also ensures that any electronics placed in its
care will never find its way into a landfill.
All Green already has a recycling facility in Sacramento and is set to expand its New York
operations within 60 days.
