Large Loads

For loads consisting of 10 or more items, it is recommended that a list be made itemizing how much of each type of eWaste is being dropped off. Processing time for large loads may be significant without a prepared list.

 ***Unusually large electronics may be subject to a fee of $0.50 cents per pound to cover the labor involved in packaging them for cargo containers. Large items include items that cannot fit onto a standard 48" x 40" pallet (excluding televisions), such as commercial copiers and industrial electronics. Please call Puhi Metals at 245-6919 if you have questions about the items you are dropping off.
