Everyone and everything seems to be going green these days; from packaging and clothes to houses and communities, the future of the environment seems to be on everyone’s mind.
Weller, known world-wide for their soldering products, is no different. They have recently announced their tip recycling program. I think this program is a great idea and it’s pretty easy. Just save the tips you are already throwing out to receive a voucher toward the purchase of new Weller soldering and desoldering tips.
Wondering how it works?
- Obtain a tip recycling box from Weller or from All-Spec Industries
- Collect two pounds of soldering tips and desoldering tiplets from any manufacturer
- Send the box with all 2 pounds of soldering tips to:
Cooper Tools
1000 Lufkin Road
Apex, NC 27539
- Cooper Tools will recycle the tips and send you a numbered and dated voucher in the amount of $75
- Use the one-time use voucher to purchase new Weller soldering tips at All-Spec Industries
The goal of this program is to protect the environment and conserve natural resources by recycling the iron and copper used to make the tips. Yes, the soldering tips collected by this recycling program are just a drop in the bucket but every little bit helps.
Of course recycling soldering tips isn’t the only way the electronics and manufacturing industry is going green. Switching to lead-free solder is another relatively easy way to protect the environment. Be sure to check out our extensive selection of lead-free solder and green workstation equipment.

As a company Lyon is known for their lockers. Yes, Lyon supplies lockers for schools, gyms, offices, etc… I’m not sure lockers would do real well in All-Spec’s market but Lyon does have products that better suit our customer’s needs.
The Lyon flammable liquid cabinets are a first for All-Spec, we’ve never carried a cabinet specifically for flammable liquids. All Lyon flammable liquid cabinets are yellow so they stand out. The cabinets also come in a variety of sizes. The cabinet in the picture to the left is considered compact at a size of 18″ x 23-1/4″ x 35″. The largest available flammable liquid cabinet is 18″ x 43″ x 44″ plus there are several other sizes in between. Depending on the size, the cabinet will have either one or two shelves plus a 2″ leak proof pan on the bottom to catch accidental spills.
Other features of Lyon flammable liquid cabinets:
- Conforms to NFPA Fire Code No. 30 and OSHA standards
- Durable, heavy duty steel construction
