$0 Pay - How do they get away with it?

they dont pay for a few reasons.

People are up in arms about "Toxins" and "recycling" tie that with marketing, the manpower, and many states now by law forcing electronics to be recycled you get a company like them. Unlike us we market that we pay and that is our "Nich" but that Nich we fill does not grant us the things that a company like themselves get. Government sub's, Huge public recycling drives.



But also those things cost money. I looked into doing a recycling drive and i was shocked at what it cost for an electronic drive.

1. I need to be R2 certified or the backed and staffed by a fully R2 certified recycler
2. The event needs to be planned at least 6 months prior to starting and submitted to NYS for approval
3. no more than 30 days prior to the event i must pay for a NYS inspector to inspect the site and procedures of the event so that i comply with all NYS laws
4. All equipment must be gone within 24 hours of the event
5. I must pay for a NYS inspector after the event
6. I am subject to surprise inspections during the event.

That's because it's NY, one of the most over-regulated states in the U.S.

"We reduce crime and drug use, not encourage it

We do not buy metal from the public because we have seen from first hand experience how it supports a rise in petty crime and a rise in methamphetamine and other drug use which leads to a negative impact on the cities residents and environment overall.

It is an unfortunate fact that many people use recycling proceeds to support meth and crack cocaine habits and this leads to theft of all sorts of things from city infrastructure to home and business air conditioning units, copper pipe, electrical wire and brass backflow preventers. Theft of this nature puts very heavy financial burdens on the victims and their businesses and this is bad for Arizona overall."
