Large peripheral stacking procedure:
Note: These items are the most difficult to stack because they will come in many
types, sizes and shapes. Great care must be exercised in stacking these items.
1. Place like-sized and shaped items together.
2. Place as closely and solidly together as possible to avoid shifting during
shipping.
3. Insert cardboard layer every 2 feet if possible.
Small peripheral stacking procedure:
These items are not placed directly onto pallets, but into labeled boxes in the
recycling work area. For example, bad keyboards all go in a box labeled
‘Keyboards’, bad mice in a box labeled ‘Mice’, etc. Since the boxes have no pallet
number, no pallet number is indicated when entering the small peripheral in the
Data Record Sheet Tracking column. The recycling vendor collects these items
separate from palletized items.
Apply stretch wrap to every pallet when the pallet is half full and again when it is full. Pull
some plastic from the spool and press or tape on a bottom corner of the pallet. Stretch
wrap is added by circling the pallet as the plastic is pulled off the spool. Keep constant
tension on the wrap as you pull so as to better secure the stack.
4.3 Vendor Pickup
When the number of filled pallets begins to fill available space the contracted
recycling firm needs to be notified and a date set for pallet collection. The lead technician
is responsible for attending the collection. On that day, after loading the pallets, the truck
driver should give a Recycling Work Order to the lead technician. The Pallet Sheet created
since the last pickup are gathered together, stapled to the Recycling Receipt and filed. A
Recycling Invoice and Certificate of Destruction should follow within two weeks, with
copies of each filed with the matching Recycling Work Order .
