Biz Aware Biz Recycling - Did you Know? Why are Bins and Labels so Important? Most people want to do the right thing and recycle. Research shows that the two biggest impediments to people recycling are a lack of bins and poor information about what to put in the bins you do have. If the bins and labels in the break room look different from the bins and labels in your work area, you're going to be confused. That means people will put some of their recycling in the trash and some of their trash in the recycling. That's why we offer free labels and bin grants for your business or organization. So which ones should you order? Our consultants can work with you to custom design a system that works best for your location. Check out the bins we have available on the Container Catalog page. Peruse the free labels on the, you got it, Free Labels page. Then when you're ready, visit the Take Action page. Premier Sponsors
