Exceldetail & Recycling

Some of you may notice, when you receive an order placed through Exceldetail.com, that the packaging material may look a little on the used side! Be it boxes or cushioning, Exceldetail.com recycles 100% of the cardboard we take in, and nearly 100% (styro peanuts, starch peanuts, paper etc) of the packaging and cushioning companies use, when they ship to us! If the shipping materials are in well enough condition to reuse, we will reuse them without hesitation. We have even reused cardboard originating from Germany! We believe in the customer paying for the products in the containers, not the fancy packaging.

Exceldetail, firmly believes in recycling all plastics (with the recycle logo) and paper/cardboard. Our goals are to not create additional waste with our business, but to help further educate our customers about our recycling practices. Recycling isn't about all or nothing, it's about "something". Soon, we will be stamping containers with a message about our efforts, not an additional sticker! Do your part, and just contribute. Take your old plastic bottles, and cardboard boxes to your local recycling centers. Most centers can be found on the internet through your City or Counties web site. If you can't find it, email me and I will find a center for you. Also, check with your local rubbish company for there recycling program for your residential neighborhood.

Not only do we care about cars, we care about the environment!

This is great to read, thank you for doing your part.

Here in Va we have a recycling program that is a curb side service.

I applied it and no issues there...nice smell!

Was on my way to snap some pics with an old Azine member.

Didn't have time to test the beading.

So everything is cool thus far.

Patrick,

Using the recycled materials is very good because I also recycle......but

Forgetting the peppermint candy in your shipping box won't be tolerated!!

P.S. I did receive mine in the last shipment.

It's always like SWEET Product, A mint AWESOME!

For some reason when a mint comes in a box it's so much better it's really weird.
