LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Greg Lunday of Gresham, Oregon will receive a free Apple iPad this week - and
all he had to do was download the free iPhone App, "My Recycle List," a
user-friendly tool designed to help anyone anywhere participate in the recycling
of items they would otherwise throw away. "My Recycle List" is currently the #1
recycling app for the iPhone. 

1-800-Recycling.com, an interactive nationwide website dedicated to enhancing
and simplifying the consumer recycling experience, created the "My Recycle List"
App and offered recyclers around the country a chance to win a free Apple iPad
after downloading and reviewing the interactive recycling tool. Those that did
were put into a drawing to win the free iPad, and 1-800-Recycling.com randomly
selected Lunday, an avid recycler. 

"This is a great surprise," said Lunday. "Many thanks to the good people at
1-800-Recycling - I really look forward to using my new iPad!! And more
importantly, keep up the great work helping people recycle!" 

"Congratulations to Greg for winning our contest, and more importantly, for
making responsible recycling choices that benefit our environment and preserve
precious natural resources," said John Shegerian, Chairman and CEO of Electronic
Recyclers International (ERI), the nation`s leading recycler of electronics and
e-waste, and parent company of 1-800-Recycling.com. "We hope that this inspires
others to recycle responsibly. Thanks to our 1-800-Recycling.com website, phone
