ADCO Keeps You in Compliance With Your E-Waste Disposal Needs

​

Once your bulbs, ballasts, batteries, E-Waste, or thermostats have been received at our recycling processing facility you will be issued a Certificate of Recycling to keep for your records. This Certificate of Recycling / Disposal will prove your company disposed of your electronic type waste in accordance with local, state, or federal law and will prove your company is in compliance with regulations under the USEPA.

​

You should keep any certificates of disposal for at least 7 years as you would keep any other record in your business to prove you disposed of your bulbs or ballasts properly.
