Encorp's quarterly newsletter Forum, is provided for Encorp contractors & stakeholders to communicate the latest in what's new in the world of beverage container recycling.
On February 23, 2012 Karen Arsenault will be easing into retirement after 13 years with Encorp.
In the December 2011 Forum Newsletter, we confirmed and informed our subscribers that 107 depots have signed and agreed to the new handling fees with updated operating standards (Schedule D) and language modifications to the depot license agreement (DLA).
This represents the majority of Depots in agreement and with that, the updated operating standards will now apply to both depots who have signed the new agreement and also to those who have not.
It doesn't get much better than this: 98% of respondents to our 2011 Beverage Program Study are aware that beverage containers can be returned for a refund.
According to our 2011 electronics research study, most British Columbians have at least one obsolete or broken electronic product at home. Of the respondents, the majority will take these electronics to a Return-It or recycling Depot for responsible recycling, however 12% said that they would dispose of their unwanted electronics in the trash.
For those locations who have been participating in the voluntary milk container recycling program, give yourself a pat on the back. Over the past few years, the satisfaction levels amongst customers regarding your milk container recycling services has steadily increased
Last year, Encorp Pacific collected over 46,000 kilograms of unwanted electronics for proper recycling through 21 one day drop-off events across B.C. These one day events allowed residents to drop off their acceptable, unwanted electronics, free of charge for responsible recycling.
