Bottle and can recycling is a well-established practice in the United States today.  Over the last 16 years, plastic bottle recycling has increased dramatically, from 234 million pounds in 1989 to over 2.1 billion pounds in 2005. Bottle and can recycling is offered to all of Recycling Services' paper recycing accounts. Recycling Services will tailor our service to your organization's unique needs. In addition, we will train the building cleaners and staff on the proper recycling procedure to ensure you get the most out of your program.

Benefits Of Our Bottle And Can Recycling Program:

Extending this service to your tenants is easy with Recycling Services’ bottle and can recycling program. Bottles and cans are collected in green colored liners. Green colored liners are available for purchase through Recycling Services. Bottles and cans will be picked up simultaneously with paper recycling.

  • Not only does the environment benefit when you implement this service, so does your pocket book.
  • Discarded plastics account for 20% by volume of the solid waste stream.
  • Redirecting this material from your garbage to your recycling lowers your disposal costs.
