E-Waste Systems, Inc. Announces Participation to Local E-Waste Collection Events

Events in May and June to Bring Over 200,000 Pounds of Discarded Electronics to Facilities in Cincinnati and Geneva

CINCINNATI, OH and GENEVA, NY and LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Jun 3, 2014) - E-Waste Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: EWSI) ("EWSI," "EWS," "eWaste Systems," or the "Company"), an electronic waste management, environmentally focused services and technology company, held an electronics collection event sponsored by Cayuga County SWM, NY.

On Saturday May 31st from 9am to 2pm 15 employees from the EWS-CG facility in Geneva collected over 100,000 pounds of old electronics brought by around 750 cars queuing at The BOCES Campus in Auburn, NY. Figures of the day include 120 pallets and 5 almost full tractor trailers. Once again residents showed great participation and appreciated the opportunity to drop their obsolete items rather than paying a fee for the collection.

"The network established with the local communities and authorities is beginning to create a virtuous relation, sign of our strong presence on the territory for a sustainable solution of the discarded electronics," commented Julie Peterson, President of the eWaste Division at E-Waste Systems. "These events are becoming popular, a result of a constant awareness campaign that we are supporting for the responsible recycling of e-waste. It is not only a Company's mission but a personal belief that everyone at E-Waste Systems shares for a sustainable tomorrow and a better future for the next generations."

On May 16th and 17th the discarded electronics drive sponsored by Toyota and open to all Toyota's employees and Scott County, KY residents saw the participation of EWS-CG that within two days of the event collected over 37,000 pounds of e-waste to be processed in the Cincinnati facility. Earlier in April E-Waste Systems also participated at another event with Ohio Valley Goodwill at the Earth Day Celebration collecting over 80,000 pounds of e-waste.

Next in the event list is a recycling drive sponsored by the Immaculate Conception Church in LaGrange, KY to collect unwanted electronics waste from the local community on Saturday, June 28, 2014 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the parish parking lot at 502 N 5th St., LaGrange KY 40031. All electronics collected will then be recycled by EWS-CG at the Cincinnati facility. Data storage devices will be sanitized according to NIST SP 800-88 standards. Aside from helping the environment the drive will be helping support the work of Catholic Charities of Louisville.

"The demands for a proper recycling solution for e-waste is becoming greater than ever due to restrictions introduced by many states," added Ms. Peterson. "Unfortunately with new regulations comes confusion on how to properly dispose unwanted items. We are currently working to change all of that through the dense relations we are building locally and that will eventually be integrated into the E-Waste Systems network as part of the global strategy for a sustainable solution to the forthcoming electronics disposal global issue."

Acceptable items to be donated at the event include cables, CD-ROM drives, cellular phones, circuit boards, computer speakers, CPUs, CRT monitors, docking stations, DVD players, fax machines, hard drives, keyboards, laptops, LCD monitors, mainframes, mice, microwaves, modems, PDAs, personal copiers, printers, processor chips, scanners, servers, speakers, tape and disc drives, telephones, televisions, terminals, and VCR players.
