Washington Nationals & RTS Knock E-Waste Out of the Park
Problem
A Major League Baseball park was hosting the annual MLB All-Star Game and had 22,000 pounds of e-waste material, including 20 palettes of television monitors, taking up several hundred square feet of event space needed to properly host the three-day event. The stadium required a service that could collect and divert the waste on short notice and in accordance with their sustainability goals.
On-Demand E-Waste Recycling
RTS leveraged its on-demand capabilities to quickly respond to the bulk-quantity of e-waste so stadium operations could remain focused on preparing for the event. Due to the large volume of e-waste, special considerations had to be made. RTS assigned a dedicated sustainability consultant to ensure the large volume and dynamic environment of the project would be successfully managed. Through their network of recycling partners, RTS connected with a local provider and, within 48 hours, had a pickup plan in place to meet the aggressive deadline.
Sustainability Services
The ballpark and RTS’s commitment to sustainable waste diversion required a solution that would avoid landfill. RTS worked with stadium operations to evaluate the types of e-waste material and ensure recycling efforts met compliance standards and zero waste goals. Once delivery was confirmed, a Certificate of Recycling was provided as proof that the stadium was EPA compliant.
Data Analysis & Reporting
The RTS technology platform gave the ballpark and their operations staff transparency throughout the entire process, which streamlined the logistics of the collection and reported real-time delivery of the materials to the recycling facility. Waste diversion reports were then generated, showing improved sustainability metrics in accordance with the ballpark’s environmental goals.
Clearing the Way for the MLB All-Star Game
Within 48 hours, RTS coordinated a specialized pickup plan, partnered with a certified recycling provider, and ensured all materials were responsibly recycled in compliance with EPA standards. Through real-time tracking and diversion reporting, RTS provided full transparency while helping the stadium meet its zero-waste goals and stay focused on hosting the three-day event.
