 HENNEPIN
COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
PPL Industries has been a valuable partner for Hennepin
County in its household batteries and consumer electronics
programs. We collect, sort, and track batteries from some
160 locations around the county.
For the electronics program, PPL disassembles, sorts, and
stores the many electronic components by type; tracks the
information; and transports components to reclamation facilities.
The electronics program started with 11 tons processed in
1992;
it is now projected to exceed 2,000 tons in 2004.

PPL Industries Disassembly and Reclamation—Extending
Product Life While Protecting the Environment
PPL Industries is a proven leader in disassembly and reclamation
of consumer electronics and batteries. Over the years, we have
cultivated a strong relationship with Hennepin County and its
consumer electronics recycling program. In that time, PPL has
collected and disassembled tens of thousands of televisions, stereos,
telephones, VCRs, computers and peripherals, rechargeable appliances,
and other miscellaneous electronic equipment. A majority of the
electronic products wind up being reclaimed or recycled; moreover,
the program keeps those products containing lead, cadmium, and
other heavy metals from our waste stream.
We are known as being a full-service leader in electronics recycling
and reclamation, with outstanding flexibility and cooperation.
“PPL Industries has been
a long-standing contract vendor of Hennepin County Environmental
Services… Hennepin County is recognized nationally
as having the premier consumer electronics recycling program
in the country. PPL’s flexibility and cooperation
has been instrumental in securing this recognition for accomplishment.”
– Philip Eckhert, Director, Dept. of Environmental
Services, Hennepin County
