Blue Cycle Program
The BlueCycle Program was designed as part of the complete Blue Sky Solution to provide a more complete hardware solution for framers, general contractors (GCs), and suppliers. One of the biggest challenges with hardware is the shear number of parts required, along with their often-large quantities.
These parts typically have a singular application, leading to leftover materials at the end of a project. Many companies attempt to reuse this material, but it often gets shuffled between jobs without being consumed.
The BlueCycle Program
To address this issue, Blue Sky now offers BlueCycle. The program allows
customers to
create a credit based on the total weight of unused materials at the end of a project.
Credits can be issued in two ways:
Job Credit
Provides a higher price per pound for the returned
material.
Cash Credit
Offers a physical cash reimbursement at a slightly
lower rate per pound.
Complete Blue Sky Program Overview
The Complete Blue Sky Program ensures precise hardware solutions by:
- Conducting an accurate takeoff based on project plans.
- Providing and managing a budget tailored to the project’s specific requirements.
For alternative budgeting, Blue Sky offers the FasBox Program, which provides a high-low budget range based on material management and usage. At the end of the project, unused material can be returned using the BlueCycle Program for a credit.
BlueCycle Process
Our goal is to provide a complete solution, and make the entire process simple and efficient.
-
Request a BlueCycle Bag
Customers call to receive a BlueCycle bag, shipped at no cost.
-
Load and Schedule Pickup
Once the bag is filled, customers schedule a pickup. A flatbed truck will arrive on-site to collect the bags, and pictures of the pickup will be taken.
-
Material Check
Upon arrival at the Blue Sky facility, the bags are inspected for non-hardware materials, with pictures taken for records.
-
Weigh and Credit
The returned materials are weighed, and a credit is issued to the customer.
-
Shipping Deduction
The credit will be adjusted to account for shipping costs incurred by Blue Sky.
Purchase of BlueCycle Hardware
Customers also have the opportunity to purchase recycled hardware through the BlueCycle Program at reduced rates. All available materials are listed on our website, where customers can conveniently browse quantities, make purchases, and schedule shipments online. This option supports sustainability while offering cost-effective hardware solutions.
