Electronic Recycling Procedures
Dry Cell Batteries (Alkaline/Lithium)
Dry cell batteries are recycled through InMetco. This convenient program provides boxes for the shipment of small quantities of nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride, alkaline, sealed lead acid and lithium ion batteries.
A battery collection box is located in the elevator lobby on Level B-2. To guard against possible fire, we ask that plastic non-conductive electrical tape is placed over the battery terminals or that each battery is placed in a separate plastic bag. Packaging the batteries in this manner will prevent the terminals from contacting other batteries or metal surfaces during storage and transport.
Once the box is full it will be shipped to InMetco for recycling and a new box will be placed in the same location.
Please note cell phone and computer batteries are not recycled through InMetco. They are included in the Electronic Equipment Recycling Program outlined below!
Electronic Equipment
Electronic Equipment is recycled through Metech Recycling. This convenient program works as follows:
- Tenants to contact building management to arrange for pick up of electronics.
- Transwestern will provide tenants with labels to identify their equipment. Smaller items such as cables, cords, cell phone etc. should be placed in a small or medium box and that box should then be labeled.
- The building engineer will pick up the items and place them in a collection bin located in a secured area to be picked up by Metech once the bin is full.
- Metech will bill each tenant direct. The electronic recycling is billed by weight at a rate of $0.22 per pound.
- Tenants will be provided with a certificate showing proper recycling of the equipment.
