A recalled product needed to be removed from 400 stores.
In 2022, a leading national retailer faced a contaminated-product recall across 400 store locations in 6 U.S. states. Every unit required disposal under hazardous-material rules.
Municipal requirements differed by jurisdiction, and hazardous material couldn't enter ordinary waste streams. The timeline didn't allow the retailer to source and manage disposal one store at a time.
The retailer needed one team to coordinate removal, disposal, and documentation across all 400 sites, They called LDR.
LDR coordinated product removal from all 400 stores.
LDR worked with local and regional store managers and within each jurisdiction's waste requirements.
- Jurisdiction-specific compliance guided removal and disposal at each store.
- Staggered service routes worked around traffic and evacuation congestion.
- Direct store coordination aligned logistics with local and regional managers.
- Continuous communication kept teams aligned until every site was clear.
- Hazardous-material disposal kept recalled products out of ordinary waste streams.
