January 31, 2012, Fair Lawn, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)—AnythingIT Inc. (OTCBB: ANYI), entering its 20th year of business as one of the most experienced reuse/recyclers of electronic waste announced today that in  2012, it will have successfully completed its 10th consecutive year as a GSA Schedule Holder with the United States Government.    

AnythingIT specializes in electronics recycling, and it's an example of the sector's strength. Over the last two years, the company has doubled in size, and it will likely continue to grow.

"It's a vibrant industry," David Bernstein, AnythingIT's president, told the E-Commerce Times. "It's growing exponentially."

In 2002, 600,000 tons of used electronics were recycled, according to Bernstein. By 2010, that number had climbed to 3.5 million. Increasingly, businesses are making long-term plans for their electronics equipment, knowing where it's going to go when it's obsolete even as they're buying it.

"It's becoming more and more a part of the way equipment is acquired," explained Bernstein. "When we buy new stuff, we think about how to get rid of the old stuff. Organizations want to make sure this stuff is handled properly."

Electronics companies, too, are working on ways to make their products more recyclable.

"There's a push to get the manufacturers to make their products more environmentally friendly," said Bernstein. "There's a healthy demand for good, working equipment outside the U.S."

Proper handling of recycled electronic equipment includes wiping it clean of all data, a service provided by any reputable certified electronics recycler.

FAIR LAWN, NJ--(Marketwire - Oct 20, 2011) - AnythingIT Inc., celebrating its 20^th year of business as one of the most experienced reuse/recyclers of electronic waste, announced today that it has successfully obtained certifications for both Responsible Recycling Practices for Electronics Recyclers (R2) certification and the ISO 14001:2004 certification.

"We are extremely proud to be achieving these important industry standard certifications which enable us to continue to support both our Public Sector and Commercial partners and clients," stated Mr. Ted Knapp, Head of Environmental Compliance & Security for AnythingIT, Inc.

R2 Certification is an established certification for achieving a very high level of process and performance in managing end-of-life electronics. It's a rigorous standard to assess electronics recycling/reuse and environmental, worker health and safety, and security practices. In 2006, the EPA facilitated a multi-stakeholder group to develop this best practice. R2 is a voluntary standard which includes principles and practices for electronics recyclers in disassembling or reclaiming used electronics equipment.

Fair Lawn, NJ (October 11, 2011) A recent survey by asset recovery e-waste contractor AnythingIT shows that clients who recycle and resell their used electronics save an average of 87% versus costs before they began to utilize such programs.

“Our clients,” says AnythingIT President and CEO David Bernstein, “are seeing that, in the face of mounting regulation and environmental concern, the burden of properly recycling or reselling working outdated IT equipment is actually no burden at all. They’re actually saving money by doing so.”

AnythingIT has been awarded a multi-year IT asset recovery/e-waste disposal contract with a major public utility.  "As we enter this milestone 20th year of business, we continue to demonstrate our best practices are still among the highest standards in this emerging IT disposal/recovery industry." stated Vlad Stelmak COO of AnythingIT Inc.   "We continue to demonstrate our unparalleled asset recovery services make a major impact in lowering customer total cost of ownership in IT while also maximizing their return on investment."
