# Easy E-Waste Pick-Ups '4th Bin' is a New York-Based Recycling Collection Service By Tiana Reid | Published 2013-01-08 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4th-bin References: [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/4thbin) & [4thbin](http://www.4thbin.com/) 4th Bin wants you to be sure about what you do with your old electronic waste. If you're anything like me, you have a horde of old electronics that are unusable but you're not about to throw in the trash because you know that's not where they go. At the same time, however, you don't want to pay the money to send it to the computer store or deliver it yourself (where you sometimes have to pay money as well). That's where 4th Bin -- a certified B Corporation -- comes in, a New York City-based ethical business that picks up electronic waste from both personal residents' homes and business places. As they say, there's no excuse now. **Contact Information** 4th Bin [website](http://www.4thbin.com/) 4th Bin on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/4thbin) 4th Bin on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/the4thbin) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **E-waste Recycling:** Opportunity for businesses to offer convenient and ethical electronic waste recycling services. - **Pick-up Services:** Growing demand for pick-up services to collect electronic waste from both residential and commercial locations. - **Sustainable Business Practices:** Increasing importance of businesses adopting sustainable practices, such as electronic waste recycling. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Waste Management:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for waste management companies to expand their services to include electronic waste recycling. - **Logistics:** Opportunity for logistics companies to provide convenient and reliable pick-up services for electronic waste. - **Technology Retail:** Innovative opportunity for technology retail stores to offer e-waste pick-up and recycling services as part of their customer support. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retail E-Waste Collectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e-waste-collection.md) - [Interactive E-Waste Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cash-for-trash.md) - [AI-Enabled Recycling Bins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartsort.md) - [Rodent-Preventative Trash Bins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/group-project.md) - [Electronic Waste Reducing Startups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apkudo.md) - [Electric Food Recyclers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foodcycler-eco-3.md) - [Cambodian Smart Waste Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-clean-siem-reap.md) - [AI-Powered Recycling Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/binko-recycling-machine.md) - [In-Office Food Recycling Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mill-for-workplace.md)
