Recycling Information

Businesses currently recycle less than 25% of what they throw out; meaning 75% is being disposed in a landfill. Commercial customers that subscribe to garbage collection service are entitled to Single Stream recycling service at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE. By recycling, you can significantly reduce your garbage, and potentially, your garbage service level, which may result in cost savings. You can also show your customers and employees that you care about your company's impact on the environment and increase your visibility as a community leader. This is an opportunity you can't pass up.

For every ton of paper that is recycled, the following is saved: 7,000 gallons of water, 380 gallons of oil, and enough electricity to power an average house for six months.

You can run a TV for six hours on the amount of electricity that is saved by recycling one aluminum can.

By recycling just one glass bottle, you save enough electricity to power a 100-watt bulb for four hours.
