Tell Walmart to stop lagging on electronics recycling and starting leading (If you are on a smart phone go to Walmart’s main Facebook page and click on “What’s on Your Mind.” It’s Earth Week, take action!)

Here’s a sample message:

“I am contacting Walmart to request electronic waste recycling options nationwide, something that Best Buy already does. Over 25,000 people have already sent letters and emails to your company asking for this program, yet all you have responded with is a limited trade-in program. When will you do something to offer all your customers free and convenient recycling for their old electronics?”

Thanks!

Ghostbusters rounded up Zombie TVs in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester and other Addams Family characters clicked their fingers to “Recycle TVs and Computers” in Houston. A banner calling on Walmart to take back electronics was floated up to the ceiling into the Wallingford CT Walmart.

Zombie TVs were also doing the Monster Mash calling for a Walmart TV Recycling Match in Dallas and Austin TX. In Syracuse NY activists sang a song that included “Recycle TVs, like Best Buy already does” in the lyrics.

Walmart shoppers seemed to enjoy the entertainment and took video of their own. Contact us (info AT TakeItBackWalmart.com)  if you have any video you would like to share!

Check out the videos and call a local Walmart to encourage them to “Match Best Buy and Recycle Electronics!” And feel free to plan your own flash action. Contact us for pointers!

A five minute flash mob routine by Texas environmentalists at two Wal-Mart stores in Western Kentucky got the attention of customers in the electronics aisles over the weekend. About 80 singing and guitar strumming protestors with the Texas Campaign for the Environment pitched a few notes urging Wal-Mart to match it when it comes to Best Buy’s electronic waste recycling program.
