Retail Solutions

The current regulatory environment requires that retailers comply with specific environmental regulations that were traditionally focused on the manufacturing sector. At the same time, the environmental sustainability movement has become a large influence on consumers and their shopping practices. EQ can help you comply with these applicable environmental regulations and meet your sustainability goals through recycling and other waste handling methods.

Segregated Waste Program (SWP):

Solutions for hazardous waste disposal at retail stores can be as easy as supplying buckets to properly segregate the waste that is generated. Each bucket is labeled for a commodity class, filled as necessary with the appropriate waste and is picked up on a regular basis by EQ. EQ's retail services group establishes the parameters of the segregated waste program after reviewing the needs and commodities of the customer.

Exterior Beautification Program:

Public walkways and thoroughfares are susceptible to accumulated gum and discards of patrons as they are walking to or from the retail establishment. Over time, the accumulated material becomes an environmental hazard and is seen as such. EQ's cleaning and maintenance group, operating with a fully trained and experienced staff, cleans all exposed areas using specialized equipment and materials.

Lamps, Batteries, Electronic Waste:

As retail stores replace electronic equipment, EQ offers recycling solutions with a customized approach. Following all regulatory guidelines required by state and federal authorities, our fully trained and experienced staff will safely recycle and dispose of electric lamps, batteries, computers, servers, and other electronic waste through a mail-back or pick-up program.

Environmental regulatory agencies have had a renewed focus on the disposal of pharmaceutical and medical waste. EQ offers management solutions of all these wastes for our retail customers, through a mail-back or pick-up program.
