Q: I want to start a CD recycling program at my workplace, any ideas on how to begin?
A: To begin, you need to contact us, but to give you a general idea on how it will work:
1) We will evaluate the location and the amount of CDs generated each month and determine if its feasible to pickup the CDs.
2) We will provide your company with necessary containers for recycling CDs and Jewelcases, and in most cases, we will give a standard 48 x 32 box to put all the CDs/cases in.
3) When the box is full, you will give us a call and we'll send a trucker to pickup the box and deliver to our warehouse to be recycled.
All of this is done completely free, if you think your company generate a good amount of CDs over months, please contact us as soon as possible to get started.
Q: Why should we recycle CDs?
A: Because you will be helping the environment around you a WHOLE lot. Think about it, if you simply dump them into your trash, they won't be sorted out and recycled, most likely they will go straight into the landfill where they won't decompose for hundreds of years.
