Recycle E-Waste – Mail It!
By Gail Nickel-Kailing on November 17th, 2008
Take a good look throughout your operation; I’m sure there are boxes of items that can be recycled tucked away in corners. Batteries, CDs, DVDs, fluorescent tubes, electronics – don’t worry, mail ‘em.
- Battery Solutions sells boxes that you can fill up with batteries (both rechargeable and non-rechargeable), cell phones, PDAs, iPods, and others. The $24 fee includes a pre-paid FedEx shipping label.
- GreenDisc recycles CDs, DVDs, video and audio tapes, and their cases. You can also send in most computer related waste-anything from printer cartridges to mice to laptops. It costs $6.95 to process up to 20lbs of waste.
- Waste Management’s Think Green program sells recycling kits for batteries, CFLs, fluorescent tubes, and electronics. Prices vary depending on item. Fill the box they send you and mail it in.
