Recycling's #1 Problem is Contamination.

When non-recyclable items or improperly prepared materials are placed in a recycling bin, they can significantly complicate the sorting process at recycling facilities, increasing costs and potentially rendering the entire batch unusable—ultimately sending it to landfills instead of being repurposed.

What's Wrong With Community Drop-Off Recycling?

Contamination

Some people dispose of anything and everything in recycling bins. When recycling is contaminated, the entire load may be sent to a landfill—even if it contains clean, recyclable materials. As a result, those clean materials are wasted, leading to unnecessary environmental costs.

Emission

Diesel trucks are characterized by their efficiency in transporting drop-off recycling bins over considerable distances. Nonetheless, their reliance on fossil fuels results in substantial greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change and deteriorating air quality.

Cost

For many years, recycling was inexpensive. We collected materials and sent low-quality waste to China. However, the China National Sword Policy drastically disrupted recycling in the U.S. The rising costs of labor, fuel, and maintenance have made community recycling unaffordable for many municipalities.

Overfilled Bins

Recycling bins are not monitored, leading people to use them as dumpsters by placing trash inside. When bins are full, they often leave waste on the ground, expecting someone else to clean it up. Additionally, inadequate public awareness and education about acceptable materials contribute to the problem.

The Future Of Recycling Is Here

We created innovative recycling drop-off stations, expertly crafted from shipping containers. Our cost-effective and easily relocatable cubes come equipped with state-of-the-art sensors to monitor capacity, ensuring optimized collection schedules. Enhance your operational efficiency and contribute to a sustainable future with our cutting-edge solutions.

Innovative Solutions

Eliminating Contamination

Single stream recycling encorages the #1 problem in recycling. contamination and its the majority of how recycling is done in the U.S.A. We utilize multi stream recycling which virtualy elimate recycling contamination.

Reduced Carbon Emissions

About 22.38 pounds of CO2 are produced by burning one gallon of diesel fuel. By actively lowering carbon emissions, we not only redefine recycling logistics but also contribute to a larger movement toward environmental stewardship.

Reduced Recyling Cost

The decentralized micro-material recovery center operates on a fundamentally different premise than traditional recycling models. This reduces the overall operational cost.

Circular Economy

As organizations increasingly recognize the value of sustainability, an on-site circular system plays a crucial role by integrating waste management with resource recovery, enabling the continual repurposing of materials.

On-Site Recycling Educators

We provide onsite waste reduction and recycling education. We have the resources to teach the public about recycling, reducing waste, and reusing materials.

We Teach Green™

We are pleased to partnership with We Teach Green™ to deliver onsite educational programs. This collaboration aims to enhance sustainability awareness and practices within our community, offering tailored workshops that cater to various educational needs. By leveraging the expertise of We Teach Green, we aspire to foster a deeper understanding of environmental stewardship and promote actionable solutions for a greener future.

Fostering a Culture of Sustainability through Education: The Mission of We Teach Green

A key aspect of our mission is to provide underserved populations with opportunities to learn about sustainability. By focusing on elementary school-age children, we nurture a sense of responsibility and environmental consciousness from a young age. Simultaneously, engaging senior citizens fosters intergenerational dialogue, allowing for the sharing of knowledge and experiences. This creates a richer educational environment that benefits all participants.

We Teach Green seeks to cultivate a community that values sustainability through education. By offering targeted initiatives to both youth and seniors, we aim to bridge generational gaps and inspire a collective commitment to environmental stewardship. Together, we can empower individuals to embrace sustainable practices and contribute to a more sustainable future for all.
