Using The Wrong Recycling Container Will Cost You!
Using The Right One Is Key…
When we talk about recycling containers, whether it’s for our households, local schools and businesses… Or it’s for larger events like a concert, state fair or festival.
You need to understand the importance of using the right recycling container from the start.
It’s critical to understand and realize that the Recycling Container itself, which collects the recyclables from the beginning, is really the most important part of the process. Its job is to identify, separate and control the process right at the source.
Single stream recycling containers are commonly used in recycling industry today, it refers to using a “single-source” recycling container to collect all your recyclables.
Single stream recycling has the advantage of requiring less labor because it’s easier to collect, and process from a single container. However, this is not the best way for us to recycle.
The downside of using single stream recycling containers is that they can collect 15-20% or more, of non-recyclable material or “residual” as it is called in the recycling processing industry.
The Recycling Container Itself… Is The Message
Studies show that clear recycling containers generate clean recyclables and opaque containers do not. Clear Bagged Recycling Containers by their nature create proper collection methods and separation at the source.
Blue tinted or clear bags are used under the recycling container to hold the recyclables. Using tinted or clear bags ensures that all the contents are indeed recyclable, which can then be collected separately.
It’s important to use clear eco-friendly Recycling bins at your events and local programs. Clear recycling containers generate over 50% more product than opaque ones.
The more recyclables you collect the better for the environment and the more money you make!
So it’s critical to use the best container for the job, which is proven to increase the amount and the quality of your recyclables… It only makes cents! – Literally.
