Collection Steps
Please contact the main Temple4 office via the email or phone number below to organise for your free of charge dross bins and labels to be sent to you.
Package all dross in the supplied dross buckets and attach the lid, please do not overfill the buckets and ensure that the lids can be safely fitted to the bucket, please follow the guidelines on dross bucket label.
Load the full dross buckets onto a suitable pallet and secure and wrap ready for collection by our licensed collection haulier. Clearly mark the pallet with our return address ready for collection.
Check list
Please ensure the dross bucket is suitably labelled with the weight, type of dross and metals within. We will need the combined weight of the buckets when booking your collection.
Temple4 will also take back waste solder paste, but this has to be put into separate dross bins to the normal dross and emptied from the original solder paste pots or cartridges.
Bugs
Please note that we cannot accept your dross for recovery if it has not been correctly labelled and identified
We hope the above explains the procedure clearly, however, please do contact us on 01730 888499 or info@temple4.com if you need any further clarification.
