GreenCitizen Launches Electronics Classifieds Service
New Service Helps Individuals Extend the Life of Used Electronics

San Francisco, California, October 10, 2006—GreenCitizen™, a green recycling company in the responsible recovery, recycling and accountability of end-of-life electronics, today announced a new online listing service, GreenCitizen Classifieds (http://classifieds.greencitizen.com), designed to help individuals and organizations extend the life of used computers and electronics. GreenCitizen Classifieds is an easy-to-use online service that lets individuals, businesses, nonprofits and organizations directly connect with others who are either giving away used electronics or who are in need of them. GreenCitizen Classifieds gives users options to post listings for electronics wanted, to sell, to donate or to give away.

“We’ve heard from many customers who have used electronics that are still functioning and who want a convenient way to find someone who can use them,” said James Kao, President and CEO of GreenCitizen. “GreenCitizen Classifieds is specifically designed to be a resource for used electronics and offers a number of easy-to-use solutions. Users have the added peace of mind of knowing that, if their equipment is too outdated to be of use to anyone, they can recycle it responsibly through GreenCitizen’s recycling centers or through our Business Pick-Up service.”

For those who have electronics they no longer need, WANTED listings make it possible to quickly find nonprofits, schools, associations, clubs or others in need of used equipment. Users who want to try to sell unwanted equipment can create a FOR SALE listing with all the important details--including the option to post a photograph—to give potential buyers the information they need. GIVEAWAY listings help people looking for used electronics find items being donated, given away or sold. An anonymous email feature allows users to contact the listing party to determine if there is a match and for any subsequent communication. All transactions go directly through the listing parties.

“Nonprofits are always overextended in terms of staff and other resources,” said Samantha Chanse, Artistic Director of the Kearny Street Workshop in San Francisco, “so we particularly appreciate how easy to use GreenCitizen Classifieds is. The service made it simple for us to connect with a potential donor. And the ability to customize the ad with our specific requirements helped make the process particularly effective. From the perspective of a nonprofit, GreenCitizen’s Classifieds service is very much appreciated!”

The service will be offered free of charge. There are no additional GreenCitizen administrative fees to pay, and no limit to the number of listings any individual can post. For now, this service is offered in the greater San Francisco Bay Area only.
