Zip Express Installation Announces First Nationwide Home Removel and Recycling Service For Major Electronics

New recycling service provides in-home pickup of old electronics, either as a standalone service or discounted when coupled with a new installation

(Minneapolis, MN – June 18, 2008) – Zip Express Installation, the first nationwide next-day option for home electronics installation, announces the availability of its consumer electronics removal and disposal service. Zip Express provides the only service where technicians remove recyclable electronic items from the customer’s home and take it to a certified recycling location.

“When handled properly, electronic waste is a valuable source for secondary raw materials. If not, it’s a major source of toxins and carcinogens,” said Chris Mauzy, President and CEO of Zip Express. “Currently, consumers have the option to either move their major electronics to the curb for pickup, or haul it themselves to a recycling center. Zip Express provides the first in-home recycling service – the only thing required from the customer is ordering the service online or over the phone.”

Unique from most e-waste removal services, Zip Express is not considered curbside. Technicians will remove all designated items from inside the home, eliminating the need for customers to carry large items outside. Recyclable items include computers, phones, cameras, PC peripherals, TVs, monitors and amplifiers.

Electronics recycling packages are available for purchase online at www.zipinstallation.com and start at $79.95. If purchased independently from installation, the removal and disposal appointment will be scheduled within seven days of service purchase. When purchased with an installation service from Zip Express, the price is discounted to $49 and the certified installers that complete the service will also manage the electronics removal at the time of appointment.
