What if there were an easy way for Businesses and individuals in New York City to dispose of all of their E waste?

What if there was a 4th Bin?

New York, NY April 2, 2009 – Valiant Technology in association with
Per Scholas, The Architect’s Newspaper, Metropolis Magazine, Soho Reprographics, Supermetric, and Core 77 has today launched “Design The 4th Bin” a competition aimed at designing the next generation E-waste logo and an E-waste Bin for New York City.

The winning logo is to be released as a public domain/creative commons design, to be as familiar as the möbius strip on every paper and plastic recycling bin.

The winning bin is intended as inspiration for an E-waste collection system in New York City. It aims to help building owners, businesses and residences comply with the new laws going into effect in 2010 restricting the disposal of electronic waste.
