    Question How much do larger companies charger $/ Lb for E-Waste pick up?

    I was speaking with our Quality Services Manager and he advised that "Casella " charges our company $Xx/Lb of E-Waste that they pick up. We have 2 bins, when these are full we make a call, they pick up and invoice us later.

    Does anyone know on average what these large companies are charging?

    I believe Casella charges $0.50 cents per lbs but I may be wrong...

    Around here even the big boys get it for FREE.. They provide them a service and they don't charge for the pickup because they know the processing of the material pays for it all.
    Wish I could find a company who is getting charged and offer to BUY it from them instead!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    See if there is someone from here in your area. They could pick it up for free, and you are ahead of the game.

    I know a company that is in the process of converting over some things, and I was doing work for them, and there was a stack of stuff. They told me to get an inventory and an Ewaste company was coming out to get it. After talking with the lady, she told me that they were getting charged per site for them to come pick up the equipment.... So I sweet talked her into all my local sites. She wouldnt tell me what they were getting charged, but it was a company out of KC
