RISMEDIA, February 9, 2010—Earth911.com, provider of one of the nation’s leading Local Recycling and Disposal Directories, released the results of its 2009 Annual Recycling Report, with electronics such as computers, batteries and televisions leading the way.
“Electronics have always been popular searches on Earth911.com, but with the increased attention these devices have received, this past year was our highest yet,” said Corey Lambrecht, president of Earth911. “Also, overall recycling searches increased 12% over 2008, as consumers want to know more about how to dispose of these items.”
The top 10 products consumers looked to recycle in 2009 using Earth911’s Database were:
-Computers
-Batteries
-Televisions
-Paint
-Aluminum Cans
-Used Motor Oil

Earth911.com also discovered additional insights into recycling and consumer behavior.
