The Journey of Rubbish

FEATURE ON RECYCLING SERVICES.

Modern rubbish and recycling collection are convenient and easy processes for individuals and businesses. When our rubbish or recyclables are placed outside, in a bin, or down a chute – they are “out of sight and out of mind.” But that’s just the first step in a processing journey. The waste industry does more than simply collect rubbish. Along this journey, industry professionals are essential partners in meeting your community’s needs for professional, innovative and environmentally responsive management of waste. Offering  solutions to some of today’s most important environmental challenges: recycling millions of tons of paper, metal, plastic and other resources; creating new sources of clean, renewable energy; and building state-of-the-art landfills for increased protection of natural resources and wildlife habitats.
