08:15 Building And Running An Electronics Recycling/Takeback Program

Technology is the fastest growing waste stream on the planet and through “drop and shop” recycling programs many retailers are striving to be part of the solution. At Best Buy customers are able to get rid of their old or unwanted appliances and electronics through recycling kiosks just inside the front doors, by recycling in-store at the Customer Service counter or scheduling appliance or TV pickup from their home when a new product is purchased. This session will address:

The environmental & economic case for onsite collection of recyclables: Are retailers getting more than they bargained for?
Driving new sales: Are those utilizing take back programs staying to shop?
Recycling partner strategy: Outsource to a large firm who will manage the responsibility for you or oversee the activities of many small firms?
