Its Facebook fan page enables Facebook users to share recycling information and receive updates from 1-800-Recycling on new recycling trends and activities.

"We are extremely proud of the tremendous success of our presence on Facebook," 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. "That we have been so readily embraced by the Facebook community shows just how much people want and need a simplification of the recycling process. Our social media team has worked tirelessly to make this effort a success and we are all being rewarded by their efforts now."

Evan Bailyn, founder of GoodMedia.com and FirstPageSage.com, and social media guru to 1-800-Recycling.com, helped lead the charge.

"As with any good social media growth and outreach practice," said Bailyn, "we've been connecting with strategically selected influencers and making them aware of information that is useful to them. With 1-800-Recycling, it has been a natural progression because we're offering something that genuinely helps people to be greener and makes it easier to recycle. The Facebook community has embraced the concept at breakneck speed - making 1-800-Recycling the most popular green site on all of Facebook in only a few months - and we expect this growth to continue exponentially."
