Interesting, maybe w/ my company they just don't want to risk it w/ 3rd party (customers) equipment. Or more likely we don't have the authority to tell the recycler that because its not our gear?
I know with our gear we ship it back to depot when its no longer in use as we have other centers that can use it. Or the repair group will part it out for future repairs.
I will say it chaps my ass seeing a roll away taken away w/ 5-10 million dollars of gear to be crushed.
Same w/ the cardboard, I asked for a bailer, too dangerous, denied. Asked for a cardboard only dumpster, again denied. We had a local charity picking it up as they made a few bucks off it. That got nixed for liability concerns... I gave up at that point.
