Samsung Partners With UBreakiFix Stores on E-Cycling Program

Samsung is supporting an e-cycling program with uBreakiFix tech repair stores to make electronics recycling more accessible to consumers. The brand’s 550 stores are accepting most everyday tech devices including cellphones, tablets, computers, printers, game consoles and wearables, uBreakiFix blogged. It will process the devices and route them to a Samsung-authorized recycling partner for either refurbishing or processing into raw commodities for future reuse, it said. The stores’ mission is to divert e-waste by making device repair more convenient and cost-effective than replacement, said President Justin Wetherill.
