Here’s How We Operate

Step 1: Review of Your Operation

  • Our team conducts a thorough review of your facility and materials management practices. This helps us understand your current processes and identify areas for improvement.

  • We assess the types and volumes of materials generated and identify collection points without disrupting current procedures.

Step 2: Determination of Your Needs

  • Based on the review, we collaborate with you to determine your specific needs and sustainability goals.

  • We develop a tailored materials management plan that outlines the services we will provide, ensuring they align with your operational requirements.

Step 3: Provision of Totes, Dumpsters, and Other Containers

  • We will assist you in procuring appropriate containers, such as totes, dumpsters, and specialized bins, to facilitate efficient materials collection.

  • Our team offers on-site training for your staff on how to properly use the containers and separate materials for optimal recycling.

Step 4: Ongoing Materials Collection

  • Although we don't coordinate logistics, we can help arrange regular pickups based on your needs, ensuring that materials are collected efficiently without disrupting your operations.

  • On-demand pickups are also available for businesses with fluctuating materials volumes.
