ISN'T THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITY'S
REYCLING SYSTEM GOOD ENOUGH? 

While the recycling system is helpful in preventing reusable

and recyclable items from entering a landfill or being incinerated,

it is far from extensive. 

 

Many items are impossible to separate out because of the bulk collection (i.e. the process of picking up everyone’s recycling and putting it into one big truck to be combined with other trucks). 

 

In addition, the local municipality only takes certain items

and our list is much more extensive. 

 

Check out what we take vs what the City of Philadelphia takes here.

WHAT IS THE POINT OF DOING ALL THIS?

Simply put, the majority of uncontaminated items

that end up in landfills can actually be recycled, reprocessed, or reused.

Less than 10% of household and business items are properly recycled.

 

Over 97% of household and business items that end up in landfills are made from a combination or single source sub-material(s):

rubbers, plastics, metals, and fabrics.

 

Through decomposition and separation, our team is able to increase

the number of items recycled and reduce the number of items

going to landfills.

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH ALL
THE ITEMS YOU COLLECT?

Once we collect a customer’s container, we separate the items

into their corresponding profiles.

 

Some items need further deconstruction if they contain multiple profiles.

 

Then the materials are either recycled, donated, or reused

based on certain criteria.

WHAT SIZE ARE YOUR CONTAINERS?

5-GALLON BUCKET

Height: ~14.5"

Diameter: 12"
Width: ~14"

18-GALLON BIN

WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO LET
CUSTOMERS USE SOME OF YOUR MATERIALS?

We encourage our customers to help us find resourceful

ways to recycle and reuse items.

 

Customers can reach out to us and request items that may

be stored temporarily. Materials such as metal, wood, furniture, 

and ceramics can be used for household projects, decorations,

or even arts and crafts!

 

We let our customers have access to these items

before we recycle them.

No, this is up to you!  You can leave us directions such as:

“Leave the container on the front steps” or “by the side of the house”.

 

However, if you have questions or feedback,speaking to one of our team members in person is a great way to learn more about us!

DO I NEED TO BE PRESENT AT THE TIME OF PICKUP OR DROP OFF?

OUR TRASH DAY IS IN CONFLICT WITH
A DAY YOU ARE IN MY ZIPCODE?

IS IT OKAY TO SET OUT ADDITIONAL
ITEMS THAT WONT FIT IN MY BINS?

If we are in your area more than once a week,

we offer a morning and afternoon shift for most areas. 

Please make us aware of this issue and we'll

do what we can for scheduling.

 

Keep your items as close to your household as possible.
We are working on signage on our bins to deter the

trash / recycling crew and the public from taking them.

Absolutely. Please send us a photo and description of your additional items / volume.

 

In order for us to avoid over-scheduling, we need the volume of our customer’s pickups ahead of time.

 

You will be charged for the additional items based

on the volume in gallons of the oveflow.
