Simply Mac partnered with Apple to host the e-waste recycling event, the largest ever held in Utah. The event allowed businesses and consumers to recycle their electronic waste at no cost to them. “There is typically a charge when recycling electronic waste, but all recycling costs were provided courtesy of Apple, and we made sure the electronic items were recycled in an environmentally responsible manner,” said Simply Mac president Steve Bain.

Electronic items that could be recycled included televisions, CRT monitors, LCD displays,
CPUs, laptops, servers, keyboards, mice, speakers, hard drives, cables, two-way radios, fax
machines, photo copiers, printers, scanners, surge protectors, telephones, typewriters and adding machines.

“Simply Mac was excited to report the collection of 260,000 pounds of e-waste from more than
250 businesses at the institutional day of our two-day free e-Waste community event,” said Bain.
“Utah’s consumers didn’t disappoint either, bringing in 240,000 pounds from more than 2,600
total consumers, for a total of 500,000 pounds (250 tons) of waste.”

The e-waste recycling event featured four drop off points with more than 550 paid temporary
staff from Utah: The Merrill Engineering Building at the University of Utah, the Maverik Center
in West Valley, Thanksgiving Point in Lehi and the Provo Town Centre Mall in Provo. Each
venue was organized with five to 10, 53-foot-long semi trucks.

The event’s official kickoff occurred at the University of Utah on April 29, and featured remarks
from Bain, as well as remarks from local government officials.

Bain added, “It was great working with Apple on this community event. The success of the
event means that we will be bringing it back next year.”

Simply Mac is a Utah-based Apple Specialist and retailer with six stores in Utah and Wyoming.
The company specializes in Apple computer and accessory sales and repair, and also has a used computer trade-in program, personalized customer training for new Apple users, and on-site service programs. Simply Mac also has its own line of branded Apple-friendly products. Simply Mac is based in Salt Lake City, Utah and is privately held.

April 29 has been designated the institutional day and will be focused on businesses,
hospitals, government agencies, educational institutions and other organizations throughout the
community dropping off recyclable materials. Businesses that plan on participating on
institutional day must pre-register at www.simplymac.com/recycle. Simply Mac is encouraging
businesses to start gathering their e-Waste now to make the donation process as effortless as

servers, UPS systems, keyboards, mice, speakers, hard drives, cables, two-way radios,
computers, fax machines, photo copiers, printers, scanners, surge protectors, telephones,
typewriters and adding machines.

“Now is the time for businesses to start collecting their electronic waste,” says Steve
Bain, president of Simply Mac. “Gather your dated computers, copiers, printers, televisions,
displays, cell phones and other electronics and recycle them at absolutely no cost to you. This is
a great opportunity for local businesses to get rid of all the unused electronics that are cluttering
up their offices, and we hope that they take advantage of it.”

April 30 is the public day and will be open to all Utah residents. Recycling services will
be provided courtesy of Apple. All equipment will be destroyed and recycled in an
environmentally sound manner that is fully permitted by a recycling facility. For more

meals,” said Utah Food Bank CEO Jim Pugh. “Right now, one in seven Utah children is at risk

partnering with us on this food drive and helping feed so many hungry kids in Utah this winter.
