Press Release Summary: West Georgia based, Plan B Solutions offers a free local
response to the computer disposal problem plaguing our landfills.

Press Release Body:
Electronic waste, or E-waste, constitutes between 2% to 5% of the US municipal solid
waste stream and grows daily. According to the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition, some
European studies estimate that the volume of electronic waste is rising by 3% to 5%
per year - almost three times faster than the municipal waste stream. Carrollton,
Georgia based, Plan B Solutions offers a local response to the computer disposal
problem plaguing our landfills.

Plan B Solutions is a trusted, environmentally friendly, 0% landfill company that
offers recycling options for all types of e-waste. They offer free pick-up service
for larger quantities of electronic equipment. Older computers and obsolete
components that do not qualify for reuse are disposed of in full accordance with
State and Federal disposal regulations.

Perhaps most importantly, Plan B Solutions offers secure data destruction for those
who may have sensitive information on their computers. All hard drives are sanitized
of all sensitive information according to Department of Defense standards.

Owner, Shannan DeVito says, "Government researchers estimate that three quarters of
all computers ever sold are still stockpiled awaiting disposal. Many companies have
old computers that sit in storage well beyond their potential useful life. The worst
option is to throw old computers in the garbage. Not only are there the potential
costs imposed by environmental agencies, there is also the possibility of someone
removing hard drives and recovering sensitive information. We are trying both to
make a difference and make it easier for everyone to do so."

Plan B Solutions provides a free, 24-hour, computer drop at their location at 288B
Barnes Drive in Carrollton and does not charge a fee to dispose of any computer
equipment, including monitors. Most computer recyclers charge for their service, but
Plan B Solutions is determined to encourage businesses and individuals to be
"Green". For local businesses, in most cases, they will even come to your location
at no charge to you.

The company operates in accordance with EPA regulations and programs for dismantling
and disposal of electronic, hazardous, universal and industrial solid waste as
outlined in the EPA\'s hazardous waste management program under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and is a member of International Association of
Electronics Recyclers (IAER).
