At Smith Equipment we've been manufacturing sweeper and power tube brushes for over 50 years. With that experience comes a certain responsibility with discarding our waste at our factory. While we can't reuse these components in commercial and industrial products, we can ensure that old steel and plastic is discarded property for recycling services and future usages. As many of our customers know, a six foot sweeper brush can be rather large and bulky to handle. Most of our products require forklifts to load and unload. Knowing the hassle that some of these old brush cores can cause, we've come up with a solution.
Any time you buy a new replacement sweeper brush, we'll come pick-up your old one FREE of charge. As long as your within our primary shipping area, we'll unload your new sweeper brush and load your old one for disposal at our factory in Lakeland. We do not use recycled steel from these broom cores due to their fatigue and likeliness to experience structural failure.
However, if you have a smaller sweeper or custom brush and you would like to save the core, let us know! We can unwrap certain brooms and sweeper brushes. As long as the core is structurally sound, we can re-use the core per customer request.
