Important Considerations

 

The most successful municipal electronics recycling programs have broad consumer awareness, a convenient collection infrastructure, a vendor that provides responsible recycling, and the means to track the final disposition of recycled equipment.  Whether you are starting a new recycling program or seeking to improve an existing one, Sims Recycling Solutions can help you manage each of these important program elements.
