I run into various people and those I like and believe in I try my best to guide business they're way. On a few posts I have written here and on other blogs I own I tell the story of buying a used Honda CRV in Atlanta. Now I'm shifting gears to Computer Recycle R2 and ISO Certifications.
I have met a consultant that offers prices are super reasonable and the process is on steroids. In the past in Atlanta R2 certified consultants are everywhere and the prices range from $6500.00 to $18,000.00. The process takes from three months to one year.
This consulting business will explain how and why and probably turn your world upside down but you be Electronics R2 and ISO 14001 certified in 90 days. I would almost like 120 days but they are set up to start to finish be done in 90 days. Pretty much the same cost as most all the other consultants.You have to weigh everything in and weigh everything out. You must account for all the weight. Mainly proving by record keeping that all went to buyers or re-sellers or sold on Ebay but not in a landfill. Steel toe shoes and safety signs everywhere. Safety kits here and there.
A computer broker that sells to other brokers or on Ebay buys or gets at no cost 250 desktops or laptops,routers, phones and or scanners or some type of electronics. Weigh all the equipment in. Sell anything off the two pallets of gear in that package then weigh what left. So let's say 1650 pounds in. Shipped a desktop sold on Ebay weighed 14 pounds. Subtract 14 lbs from the 1650 pounds and you still have 1636 pounds of potential electronic waste. That is the issue. Accountability. Landfill? Exported the remaining crap?
Cost of a Consultant Somewhere between $7000.00 and $18,000.00
Cost of inspection, audits and first year dues. $6,000.00
Time the entire process takes. 90 days to 365 days.
I can get it done for you for a reasonable price. Depends on how many employees and how big your building is. If you are a small business two employees and under two thousand square feet I'm guessing the consultants fees will be about $14,000.00 and these people will get it done in 90 days.
Thank you
