Abstract: An apparatus and system are provided for facilitating a mechanism in which to collect and consolidate goods at a location for recycling. The apparatus includes a processor capable of defining a time period(s) and determining type(s) of recyclable goods and associating a defined time period(s) with one of the recyclable goods based on the type. A portion of the goods may be picked up from an entity upon expiration of the time period. The processor is also capable of receiving an indication that the portion of the goods are delivered to a location and consolidated with other goods of the same type. The other goods are delivered to the location from other entities and the processor is capable of determining whether the consolidated goods exceed a predetermined threshold and if so the processor is capable of generating an instruction to deliver the consolidated goods to a facility for recycling.
