It is a mix of both as some of the material has a negative recyclingvalue such as cartridges, etc. i.e., we need to pay to responsiblydispose it, whereas some material has a net positive value, whereinwe get a fixed amount from the sales of secondary material to therecyclers, thus we pay for the same to the bulk consumers. Generally,a bulk consumer must share an inventory list with us, and we shareformal quotation of the material. In certain cases, Bulk Consumersare more than happy in giving their e-waste free of cost and they arekeen towards responsible recycling of the e-waste.
