Aluminum Plate Recycling Program
What is this Program?
Kodak鈥檚 Graphic Communication Group (GCG) is pleased to introduce the Aluminum Printing Plate
Recycling Program in conjunction with United Scrap Metal Inc. (USM). This program is specifically
designed to help Kodak customers recycle aluminum plates while receiving maximum value and preserving
the environment. Kodak customers simply call or fax the attached form to participate in the program and
receive the premium preferred pricing. USM will coordinate the pickup or shipment of aluminum printing
plates and expedite direct payment to the customer. As an added incentive, you will receive a Ronald
McDonald House Charities庐 receptacle to collect aluminum pop tabs at your facility when you join the
program. A portion of the proceeds from this program plus 100% of the aluminum pop tab revenue will be
donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities庐 at no cost to your company. It's as easy as that.

Aluminum Plate Recycling Program
Why is this Program Affiliated to Ronald McDonald House Charities?
Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC庐) a non-profit 501(c)(3), creates, finds and supports programs
that directly improve the health and well being of children worldwide. One of the ways that RMHC raises
money and awareness is through the collection and recycling of aluminum pop tabs. Our program is
affiliated with RMHC because it also involves aluminum recycling and shares their basic operating values.
As part of this program, we look forward to working with RMHC and Kodak customers to expanding the
aluminum pop tab collection program, which provides crucial assistance to families in need. For more
information on RMHC, log onto their website at www.rmhc.org.

What is the Value of my Aluminum Plates?

printing plates with USM by leveraging volume through a national program. Customers simply call USM at
1-800-858-0777 to get a competitive price quote within 24 hours. USM will quote the exact premium
preferred price for aluminum scrap, which will be contingent upon volume, customer location, freight, and

2006 has ranged from $1.10/lb to $.70/lb. but this is not a guarantee of future prices which depend upon
the variables referenced above. Once the customer agrees to the price, USM will be responsible for
arranging the shipment of aluminum scrap from your location and remitting payment directly to you in a
timely manner.

Aluminum Plate Recycling Program
What Can I Return?
If you are a Kodak customer, you may return any Kodak aluminum printing plates that are generated at
your facility. Any other materials you would like to recycle with United Scrap that are outside of this
program should be negotiated directly with your USM sales representative.
How do I prepare the Aluminum for Return to USM?
There are several options for returning aluminum plates that should be conducive to your operation:
鈥? Minimums: The program pick-ups will require a minimum of 2,000 lbs. though customer deliveries to
USM have no minimum requirement.
鈥? Skidded: Stack the aluminum plates on pallets, secure them with either shrink wrapping or banding
while having them adjacent to your dock. Larger quantities can be loaded onto permanent trailers loose
or live loaded.
鈥? Baled: Ideally the bales are banded and stacked on pallets no more than three high.
鈥? Gaylord Boxes: Need to be placed squarely on pallets. Double stacking is also permissible.
How do I arrange for Shipment of the Aluminum Plates?
鈥? Inform USM when the aluminum plates will be ready for pick-up or delivery.
鈥? USM will send shipping instructions and pricing details.
鈥? USM will schedule, coordinate and confirm the designated carrier to pick up the aluminum.
