Recycle For UCP

Recycle for UCP Collection Box What is Recycle for UCP?

United Cerebral Palsy has partnered with BCS Recycling Specialists to implement the "Recycle for UCP" fundraising program. This free program enables UCP and its affiliates to earn money for collecting Electronic Waste (E-Waste) in UCP logo'd collection boxes. E-Waste items including inkjet cartridges, cell phones, PDAs, iPods, digital cameras and laptops are to be collected and BCS pays up to $2.50/item and $10 for laptops, no broken screens, please.

How does it work?

BCS sends UCP logo'd collection boxes for you to place in office buildings, medical facilities, retail outlets, and any other high traffic locations. Once the box is full, close it with the self-sealing lid and note the prepaid FedEx shipping label attached to the box. Each box also has a white sticker that signifies the return location so that a new recycling box can be sent. The FedEx charges, both outgoing and incoming, are paid for by BCS.

Once BCS receives the full box, we inventory it by the reference number on the box (we code the affiliate's reference # on each box before it is sent out). Items are sorted and any data containing items are erased with a government standard data erasure program and all items are 100% landfill-free recycled. Once the value is determined, BCS sends a check directly to your affiliate for 75% of the value earned and a check to UCP national for 25% (for management costs) and a new empty box is sent to the box host.
