Our Promise

We promise that our RECYCLEPAK® containers, provided they have not been damaged and have been properly packed and sealed in accordance with our instructions, with contents limited to only the MATERIALS described above, in containers required for specific MATERIALS described above, are suitable for shipping those MATERIALS. (If a prepaid shipping label was provided to you with the container, please use it to ship your MATERIALS to us. If you did not receive a prepaid shipping label, you are located in a state or jurisdiction that does not allow their use. In this case, please contact Veolia toll-free at (888) 669-9725 to arrange for shipping). In accordance with 40 CFR 264.12(b), 273.18(d) and 273.38(d), we have the appropriate permits and agree to receive the MATERIALS, as described on the RECYCLEPAK® label and packaging instructions.

If you abide by your promise as stated below, we agree to take title, and all other incidents of ownership, to your MATERIALS at the time that the RECYCLEPAK® container(s) is received by our transporter. If, for any reason, our carrier as identified on the prepaid return label will not ship the RecyclePak® container, we will work with you to identify alternative shipping. We will refund the actual shipping charges received by us from you if similarly priced alternative shipping cannot be located.

Your Promise

You promise that you will send us only the MATERIALS described above, in undamaged RECYCLEPAK® containers packaged in accordance with our instructions, in a quantity that does not exceed the stated capacity of the containers and in RECYCLEPAK® containers required for specific MATERIALS. If included, you promise to properly fill out the prepaid shipping label (name, address, city, state or province, zip or postal code) and affix where stated to the container. Furthermore, you promise not to place the prepaid shipping label on any pail, box or drum other than the RECYCLEPAK®, and if required by the RECYCLEPAK® container, you certify that you qualify as either a conditionally exempt very small quantity generator or a conditionally exempt small quantity generator, as defined by US EPA regulations 40 CFR 261.5 or are otherwise exempt from hazardous waste manifesting requirements in accordance with applicable state regulations.

Please understand that your failure to keep your promise may result in bodily injuries (including death), property damage, contamination of or adverse effects on the environment and/or violation of applicable laws or regulations and may also result in our seeking indemnification from you under the Indemnification section below. Legal action, suits, claims, costs and expenses incidental thereto, in addition to government-assessed fines and penalties could occur in connection with your failure to keep your promise.

Additional Charges and Return of Materials

So we can serve you better, please be sure to use only RECYCLEPAK® containers for sending us only the MATERIALS described above and to use them in accordance with our instructions. If you exceed the stated capacity of a RECYCLEPAK® container, we reserve the right to charge you an additional fee to compensate us for the extra MATERIALS.. In the event you fail to abide by our instructions and you ship us MATERIALS in containers other than RECYCLEPAK®, ship us MATERIALS in a RECYCLEPAK® container that is inappropriate for those MATERIALS, ship us containers from restricted states or countries, or ship us wastes that are not MATERIALS as described above (The word “NON-CONFORMING CONTAINER” is used herein to describe these shipments), we will charge you and you agree to pay additional fees within 30 days of invoice. We will charge you an ADDITIONAL SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEE of $75.00 for each NON-CONFORMING CONTAINER shipped to reimburse us for the added costs in dealing with the NON-CONFORMING CONTAINER. If you send us a NON-CONFORMING CONTAINER, we will try to manage its contents, if possible, but we will charge you for any extra costs in addition to the ADDITIONAL SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEE listed above. Those costs shall be based on the retail rate for a RECYCLEPAK of similar size as published at www.prepaidrecycling.com at the time we receive the NON-CONFORMING CONTAINER. In the event you send us wastes that are not MATERIALS and we are unable, for any reason, to manage them you agree we can return the wastes that are not MATERIALS to you at your expense and you also agree to still pay us the ADDITIONAL SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEE above.

DISCLAIMER - IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE RESPONSIBLE TO YOU FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR YOUR USE OF RECYCLEPAK® CONTAINERS, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE OR OTHERWISE.
