FLANDERS, N.J., Dec. 3 /PRNewswire/ – AERC.com, Inc. (AERC Recycling Solutions) hosted its first Electronics Recycling Collection Event on November 7 in conjunction with the Energy Corridor District in Houston, TX, which includes companies such as British Petroleum, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil and Shell Oil. The event was open to employees of all the companies represented by the Energy Corridor District and the outlining community.

Collected materials included computers, keyboards, televisions, modems, fax machines, printers, scanners, handheld games, telephones, cell phones, cameras, pagers, VCRs, tape decks, CD players, movie projectors, tape recorders, radios, and other electronic products.

All information on data storage devices, such as hard drives and cell phones, is completely destroyed.
