Mail-In Electronics Recycling Program Join Hands with Leading Soccer Teams

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): The Electronics Reuse & Recycling Alliance (TERRA) announced that two professional soccer teams have partnered with its Done with IT mail-in recycling program. The Portland Timbers and the Portland Thorns FC will now provide their fans in the U.S. and Canada with sustainable electronics recycling options.

In accordance with the partnership, a portion of the collected devices will be distributed to eligible students in Portland and surrounding communities. This will enable the students to participate in remote learning, which has now become an order of the day due to coronavirus-based restrictions.

The fans could visit the Done with IT site to select an appropriate recycling product. Upon checkout, the user would be provided with a prepaid, printable shipping label through email within 24 hours. After this, fans could pack their unwanted electronic devices in a box, attach the label and ship it to Done with IT.

Steven Napoli, president and CEO of TERRA noted that it is highly excited to launch the first-of-its-kind partnership with the Timbers and Thorns. The company is hopeful to expand its Done with IT program to other Major League Soccer teams to provide fans with the opportunity to sustainably recycle electronics, he added.
