June 2011 - Attended The 22nd Summit for Recycling in Breckenridge, Colorado put on by Colorado Association for Recycling. It was an eye opening experience for R2 Stewardship as we took some much needed information from this summit. Thanks to all of the hard working people that put on the event as well as all the attendees. It was a pleasure to see how important the future direction of recycling in Colorado was to all the recycling entities both large and small. We truly need to come together and help shape our e-waste laws as it was also disturbing to find out the lack of  recycling knowledge residents and business still have throughout the State of Colorado.

Who is R2 Stewardship and What do we do?

• R2S is a Denver, Colorado based computer and electronic recycler. R2S is registered with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment as a "Large Universal Waste Handler" as required by law. R2S has been issued the EPA ID: COR000223355. R2S is a vibrant and expanding company creating recycling jobs and opportunities while investing in our environment, citizens and communities throughout Colorful Colorado.

• R2S is NOT ONLY a full-service computer and electronic recycler but we also refurbish, reuse, and resale laptops. LCD's, desktop computers, projectors, plotters, printers, power supplies and hundreds of other computer and electronic related items. We believe in giving back to Colorado students, residents and businesses quality products refurbished or tested by CompTia Certified Technicians.

• R2S's management and staff are committed to assisting the residential, private, business and government sectors in responsible, efficient and  a safe disposal of working or non-working computer and electronic waste commonly known as e-waste. 

Where is R2S Located?

Why choose R2S for your recycling solutions?

• Our management team is committed to providing safe and professional recycling solutions for residential, business and private sectors whom require a responsible and efficient means of recycling all of your unwanted electronics. Another name used for this unwanted electronic waste is e-waste.
  
• So far only 25 states that have implemented e-waste laws. Colorado has just began legislation in 2011 which would mandate statewide e-waste recycling laws. R2S has not waited for the State of Colorado to mandate these laws; instead we have taken many lessons and practices from states like California where e-waste laws are more stringent then most other states.

We are currently working towards our "R2 Responsible Recycling Certification." What does this mean and how does this change the way R2 Stewardship conducts day to day operations and run our overall business? To begin to understand we must start with Colorado based computer and electronic recycling entities. Many "electronic recyclers" claim to do the right thing and for the most part most of them do...to an extent. To clarify this statement we will give you an example. An "electronic recycler" does a pickup for a business or resident and they pickup some old computers, non-working printers, some CRT monitors and an assortment of florescent light bulbs. Now the "electronic recycler" may break the computer down and separate its contents until there is enough to sell to a downstream vendor. Next, the printer can also be broken down and be recycled for its metal, plastic, motors and small logic boards. So far so good right? Not so quick...now we come CRT monitors. Where does this go? Good question. If the "electronic recycler" breaks down the CRT monitors where does the leaded glass tube end up? The "electronic recycler" should be able to provide the name(s) of the vendors where they are sending the leaded glass to if applicable. If the "electronic recycler" is not able to answer these simple questions or at least provide some proof than one should be concerned. Even though it is legal to safely dismantle CRT items, we at R2S choose not to break down any CRT monitor or CRT TV unless absolutely necessary. Finally, we come to the light bulbs. Most "electronic recyclers" are not able to handle florescent light bulbs. Sadly it is common for "electronic recyclers" to throw this material in their dumpsters; which is not the responsible recycling solution.
We can go on and on with examples but the point is this...an "R2 Responsible Recycling Certification" proves through documentation, processes, controlled forms, and standard operating procedures that they are doing the right thing. Third party auditors are brought in at R2 Stewardship's expense to verify that we are "doing the right thing" not for a little while but for the life cycle of our business. This is accomplished with overall company goals, open communication, strong team work and improvements that we will continue to make as the industry shapes itself. R2 Stewardship continues to strive for the utmost respect for our environment by making a pledge to do our due diligence when handling all material coming through our doors.         
R2S TIP for CRT Monitors - average price in Colorado to recycle a CRT monitor of any size is $10.00 per unit. If you or your business is paying more then this please call 720-334-4438 to arrange a free viewing of any and all electronic items.
