Sony, in honor of Earth Day, on Wednesday announced the launch of its GreenFill recycling service. Sony is billing the service as the first of its kind- an in-store drop-off recycling option sponsored not by a retailer but a CE manufacturer.

The company said that 81 retailers have joined the program for its launch.

"Sony's GreenFill program is providing consumers with a convenient, sustainable solution for recycling small electronic products," Sony executive vice president Mike Fasulo said as part of the announcement. "We are continuing our commitment to reach our goal of recycling one pound of old consumer electronics equipment for every pound of new products sold."

For more on the program, go to www.sony.com/green

I know that this is not directly game related, but I would like to remind you that Sony is doing its best to remain the greenest of the three video game companies.

Thank you for caring about the earth's future Sony and doing your part!

Oh hey Leo-J

Do you not believe that all the consoles which are manufactured need to be recycled at some point?

Great, both for the environment and for Sony. If they can start recycling more materials, they should be better equipped to deal with future shortages on materials, and also get better prices currently.

Great to hear this news from Sony! They are cost cutting, restructuring and becoming greener in the process!

I think this will be a great idea as i have quite a few electronic gadgets that i am only hanging onto as i hate the idea of them getting put into landfill and destroying the environment so they will be put to this if there is one near me!

More power to Sony! It's great what they're doing. Hopefully, Ninty and MS will
soon follow.

Props to Sony :D

Awesome idea, and I'll gladly throw dead phones and crap in there, but they'll have to pull my dozen or so Game Boys and 300 NES cartridges from my cold dead hands!
