Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should You Recycle?

Aside from the obvious reason – helping the environment – there are many benefits associated with recycling for businesses, individuals, and organizations.

Businesses:

Having a business recycling program in place will do more than just boost your company image! It will help you to attract and retain key talent, and will also impress your current and prospective clients or customers. As large companies increasingly put more pressure on their suppliers to comply with environmental standards, having a proper business recycling program in place will be a strong asset.

Individuals:

It is possible to do your part to help the environment – without sacrificing convenience! Small steps, such as choosing to visit one of our Green Depots in Newfoundland, helps you to live sustainably while making a little extra money! Benefits of choosing to recycle include the knowledge that you are sending less trash to landfills, helping to conserve natural resources, and more.

Why Should You Outsource Your Recycling?

Implementing, managing, and maintaining a strong recycling program is easier said than done. Ideal recycling solutions require strategic planning, proper equipment, and coordination with stakeholders. When you outsource your recycling, you are able to focus on what truly matters – your business – while you leave the recycling to the experts.
