Rethink Recycling


SORTING RECYCLABLES FROM THE TRASH
It’s a common misconception that recyclables and organics (food waste) are separated from the trash by either your trash hauler or at its final destination. Good intending people end up tossing their plastic water bottle in the trash, thinking it will be sorted out later. We’re sorry to say, that’s not true. What happens to your trash and recyclables?
 
We’re here to help you figure this out.
Managing your trash better doesn’t have to be hard. We have recycling experts who will come to your workplace and create a plan to help you recycle better. We even give grants of up to $10,000 to make improvements. We’ve awarded over 600 grants to businesses! Contact us to sign-up and #recyclebetter.
