The group’s previous recycling event was held in conjunction with Earth Day in April. Between the two events, the organizers collected nearly 25 tons of cell phones, laptop and desk top computers, tablets, printers, VCRs, DVD players, stereos, copiers, fax machines and various other items. That total included 14,000 pounds collected in September along with more than 35,000 pounds turned in at the Earth Day collection. Every item collected will be recycled into new products or back into raw materials, according to organizer Josette Steele, Asset Management Specialist at FCA US. The company works with a recycling contractor, Re-Source Partners, that maintains a zero-waste-to-landfill policy, Steele said. The goal is to keep the e-waste out of landfills where toxic metals can leach into the soil and groundwater. Only about 15 percent is properly recycled in the United States. Steele and her colleagues are hoping to make e-recycling an annual event on the headquarters campus. ### Additional Media #### Videos [ ![](https://3blcdn.com/styles/carousel_thumbnail_x2/s3/videos/thumbnails/200908/thumbnail-200908_0004.png?h=7a6e80fd) ](/sites/default/files/videos/Fixfor3BL.mp4) [![](/sites/default/files/Clients/Logo_Stellantis_Pos_RGB.png)](/profiles/stellantis) ### More from Stellantis ###### [Stellantis Women's Leadership Experience Earns Second Coveted Brandon Hall Award](/news/stellantis-womens-leadership-experience-earns-second-coveted-brandon-hall-award) Dec 2, 2021 10:20 AM ET ###### [Stellantis and National Business League Commence Pilot for Nation's First Black Supplier Development Program](/news/stellantis-and-national-business-league-commence-pilot-nations-first-black-supplier-development) Oct 20, 2021 12:00 PM ET ###### [Stellantis Women of Color Earn Recognition at Annual STEM Conference](/news/stellantis-women-color-earn-recognition-annual-stem-conference) Oct 12, 2021 10:30 AM ET ###### [Stellantis Reinstates Domestic Partner Benefits for Non-bargaining Unit U.S. Employees](/news/stellantis-reinstates-domestic-partner-benefits-non-bargaining-unit-us-employees) Oct 11, 2021 10:30 AM ET ###### [Stellantis Named a Top 50 Company for Latinas](/news/stellantis-named-top-50-company-latinas) Sep 23, 2021 12:00 PM ET ###### [Stellantis Continues As Exclusive Sponsor of the National Black MBA Association Graduate Student Case Competition](/news/stellantis-continues-exclusive-sponsor-national-black-mba-association-graduate-student-case) Sep 21, 2021 12:15 PM ET ###### [Stellantis and Jeep® Brand Lead the Motor City Pride Parade](/news/stellantis-and-jeepr-brand-lead-motor-city-pride-parade) Sep 17, 2021 1:45 PM ET ###### [Stellantis Earns a Top Score on the Disability Equality Index](/news/stellantis-earns-top-score-disability-equality-index) Jul 13, 2021 10:30 AM ET
