Important Bulletin: Not Accepting Non-Working TVs
Retro-Tech's current recycler is no longer accepting TVs for recycling. We have no other choice than to no longer accept non-working televisions since we now have no way to dispose of them. We are currently searching for another recycler who will accept them. Once we have a way to dispose of them properly (we will not dispose of them in an environmentally unsafef way), we should be able to resume accepting TVs. A new fees schedule will then be in effect as the current shcedule was based on costs from our old processor.
Accepted televisions will need to be demonstrated as working upon donation before they can be accepted.We are currently setting up a test facility to test items for resalable condition as they come in from donation.
Retro-Tech is also no longer accepting microwave ovens, household items or appliances until a new processor has been located.
Please understand than Retro-Tech is still committed to recycling, but for the moment, the pipeline is clogged. recycling is still good for the environment and resue is still helpful to those in need. Please stay tuned while we struggle through these tough times.
There are now also some other items we can no longer accept. Broken or exposed tubes of any kind will no longer be accepted.
So please don't shoot the messenger, if material prices return to their historical levels we will be quick to return to our old pricing model. But we operate without underwriting and have to absorb the costs into our pricing structure. Recycling is still good for the environment and reuse is still helpful to those in need. Please do not abandon us while we struggle through these tough times.
