Before collection
Keep reusable parts in service. Confirm the exact item and any hazardous contents with the collection programme.
During treatment
Ask which materials are recovered, what residues remain, and how those outputs are recorded.
Final destination
Look for a receiving-site record and an accepted treatment route. A nearby landfill or recycler does not establish the destination.
