On Thursday November 18th from 6pm – 8pm, youchange will join the popular ArtsBridge at Stetson Plaza in Old Town Scottsdale, AZ to celebrate America Recycles Day.
“We are active recyclers in our offices and at Jobing.com Arena and know that adding our tickets as an incentive is a nice bonus to people who actively participate in recycling themselves.”
youchange wants to empower you to clean your closets and drawers and bring your used electronics to Stetson Plaza in Old Town Scottsdale on Thursday evening November 18th to earn cash, youchange reward points, and one of 100 Tickets to an upcoming Phoenix Coyotes game!
“We are excited to launch our first of many local electronics collection events. Our hope is that people will take a few minutes to help the environment by bringing in their unwanted, functioning or non-functioning gadgets,” said Jeffrey Rassás, youchange Founder & CEO. “eWaste is one of the fastest growing problems facing the world today. Our company’s mission is to help change the way used electronics get disposed of by offering consumers an incentive to use our platform that helps keep electronics out of the landfills.”
The first 100 people who bring in an unwanted, functioning electronics device such as a laptop, computer, cell phone, PDA or smartphone will earn cash, youchange rewards points, and a free ticket to the Coyotes vs. Blackhawks in March 2011. These tickets do not go on sale to the public until December, but the Coyotes have made these tickets available in their support of America Recycles Day.
“The Phoenix Coyotes are pleased to partner with youchange to support America Recycles Day and help collect recyclable electronics,” said Coyotes Vice President of Marketing and Communications Jim Brewer. “We are active recyclers in our offices and at Jobing.com Arena and know that adding our tickets as an incentive is a nice bonus to people who actively participate in recycling themselves.”
“We want people to join the youchange community and start changing the world one gadget at a time,” said Rassás. “Our “Green for Gadgets Program” will reward our members with not only cash but also youchange reward points and the opportunity to join the youchange community.”
