Maxus and Calgary partner for electronic roundup.

Maxus Technology Inc., a Medinex Systems Inc. subsidiary, will partner with the city of Calgary for its 2004 eCycle Day Roundup. The event will take place later this year and will mark the second year in which Maxus will play an instrumental role in the city's e-waste collection.

"Calgary, Alberta, Canada, continues to lead the e-waste revolution in Canada and will continue its innovative ways to safely manage computers and other electronic devices at the end of their life," Maxus President Shelley Whatmore says. "This is a low-cost, consumer-friendly solution to the expensive electronic product recycling options currently available to the city."

Whatmore says that Maxus, using its MeWa recycling technology, will process more than 70 metric tons of e-waste during the event.

Last year's eCycle Roundup was one of the largest one-day electronic waste roundups held in North America, according to Maxus, collecting more than 220 metric tons of electronics from residents of Calgary in six hours. As a result, 3,615 computer monitors; 4,277 CPUs; 1,753 TVs; and 1,393 stereos were collected.

Maxus was founded in 1994 as an asset recovery expert for the telecom industry. In the last 10 years, Maxus has developed extensive supply-and sell-side networks that include an International sourcing network that enables the company to secure in-demand products.
