Barclay Enterprises Helps Reduce Telephone E-Waste with its

“T-Waste”^® Telephone Recycling & Disposal Program

     Looking for a convenient yet environmentally responsible way of getting rid of your unwanted phone or telephone system? Looking for a reliable telephone recycler?

     Good news: “Starting now, getting rid of  telephone e-waste in an environmentally responsible way is as easy as mailing a letter,” says Rick Barclay, president of Barclay Enterprises, a leading remanufacturer of used telephone equipment located in Colton, CA.

     “Nearly everybody’s heard of ‘e-waste’”, says Barclay, “We’ve decided to help tackle what we call “t-waste”, or telephonic waste, with our no-charge “T-Waste^® Recycling & Disposal Program” (TWRD). We want to be a part of the country's telephone recycling efforts.

     Through Barclay’s TWRD program, consumers and businesses nationwide can send their telephone e-waste to Barclay Enterprises, who will recycle parts when practical and dispose of the remainder through a professional e-waste recycler licensed and certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB). All recycling is done in strict compliance with California's Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003.

     What kind of telephone equipment does Barclay Enterprises accept? “Telephones, cordless phones, cell phones, batteries, consoles, control units, cards, boards, power supplies  --- just about anything associated with telecommunications,” replies Barclay.

     “It’s easy to send us t-waste,” he adds. “Just fill out a request form on our website (www.barclayent.com) to get a return authorization number. Then, just box and ship. We’ll take care of the rest. And even though we’re in California, we’ll take T-Waste^® from anyone in the United States and its territories.”

     Barclay Enterprises, Inc. has been buying, selling and repairing used business and consumer phones since 1988. “If you were to lay all the phones we've repaired and recycled to date end to end, they would stretch for over 23 miles!” Barclay states. “And if you were to include all the power supplies, circuit boards, control units and cordless handsets we've recycled, you could fill over 440 dumpsters. But dumpsters and landfills aren't where e-waste or t-waste belongs!”
