Our building has a large number of tenants with separate management. Their IT equipment go back to the manufacturer and do not go to the building main waste stream. Every manufacturer with this program assures environmental recycling. I assume that written confirmation from all tenants is not enough. Any suggestions?

These contract IT programs are fairly common, IBM run a pretty big one. Talk with the IT department and have them contact the computer/IT company for reference documents, copy of the contract etc. As long as you have the details of what went out of the building is a clearly followable format, it should be fine. No chain of custody is required...unfortunately....maybe that's something we should push for.
