Recycle for UCP
What is Recycle for UCP?
United Cerebral Palsy has partnered with BCS Recycling Specialists to implement the “Recycle for UCP” Program. This partnership enables UCP to work with BCS in order to recycle laptops at a rate of $10.00 each; cell phones, Lexmark and HP Inkjets, and other PDAs at a rate of $2.50 each.
How does it work?
BCS provides the recycling collection boxes with the UCP logo and tagline that can be placed in office buildings, retail outlets, and other public locations. Once the box is full, all one has to do is flip open the lid, where a prepaid FedEx Freight slip is attached. The FedEx freights, both outgoing and incoming, are paid for by BCS. Each box also has a white sticker that signifies the return location so that a new recycling box can be sent.
The incoming receiving computer program at BCS will track returned boxes and inventory by zip code, affiliate name, and e-mailed requests. This allows you to place boxes anywhere local support for the program exists. A copy of the outbound FedEx way bill will be faxed to the affiliate that makes a request so you will know that BCS has responded to that request.
Once the recycled items are inventoried, UCP National will receive a check, retain 25%, and forward 75% back to the affiliates that have the recycling collection boxes in their territories.
