Electronic Recyclers International last Saturday teamed with legendary sports agent Leigh Steinberg to help “green” his 22nd annual Super Bowl Party by setting up special collection areas for used electronics at the site of the event. The e-waste bins were available at the Desert Botanical Gardens for guests of the party as well as anyone from the community who wanted to discard their old laptops or cell phones for free. ERI reported more than 500 unwanted old laptops and more than 500 cell phones were collected at the party.

Steinberg and Hall of Fame Quarterback Warren Moon kicked things off by dropping their own old cell phones and laptops in the e-waste bins provided by ERI, the leading electronic recycling company that specializes in the environmentally safe and socially responsible dismantling of electronic items such as laptops and cell phones – items that contain elements toxic to our environment if not disposed of correctly.

Other athletes and celebrities in attendance included Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and coach Wade Phillips, Football legend Steve Young, Basketball coaching legend Jerry Tarkanian, former hoops star and current talk show host John Salley, and many others.

Now the largest recycler of electronic waste in the world, Fresno-headquartered Electronic Recyclers is licensed to de-manufacture and recycle televisions, computer monitors, computers, and other types of electronic equipment. ERI is capable of processing in excess of 100 million pounds of electronic waste per year.
