Waste metal/dross collection
Temple4 provides a full solder dross collection and recycling service, we will credit our customers back for recovered metals from the solder dross. Any credit will be based on current LME metals prices at the time of recycling and recovery less transportation costs.
Collection Information
Registrations and licenses for waste collection and storage
Temple4 uses fully registered waste carriers and brokers with the Environment Agency to collect and deliver the waste. Their drivers are fully trained ADR drivers and hold the appropriate licenses. They handle all Duty of Care administration and provide a Waste Transfer Note that travels with the shipment from collection to delivery.
Temple4 has registered with the Environment Agency, under “S2 waste exemption: storing waste in a secure place”, registration number WEX360813. This exemption allows us to store specific waste at a secure intermediate site, separate to where the waste was produced, before transportation to another site for recovery.
Collection Procedure
Procedure for the supply and collection of solder dross buckets
Please contact the main Temple4 office to organise your free of charge solder dross buckets and labels to be sent to you.
Follow the guidelines on the label of where to fill to and please try to limit the weight of the bucket to approx. 20kg each.
Please ensure the 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.
Load the buckets with lids firmly secured onto a suitable pallet. Secure, wrap and clearly mark the pallet with our address ready for collection.
Temple4 will also take back waste solder paste, but this must be put into separate solder dross buckets to the solder dross and emptied from the original solder paste pots or cartridges.
(Please note that we cannot accept your dross for recovery if it has not been correctly labelled and identified)
Collection
Please contact the main Temple4 office to organise your collection, please provide the team with : number of buckets and total weight; pallet dimensions and weight.
Our team will then request a collection and confirm dates when known.
A Waste Transfer Note (WTN) will be produced by the carrier and must accompany the pallet. You will be asked to sign a section at the point of collection.
A completed WTN will be emailed to you after it has arrived at Temple4.
Dross will remain securely stored in our warehouse until we are ready to send a shipment to Interflux, in Belgium for recycling.
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.
