At Waste Wise, there’s one common question that we get from clients and our neighbors. They ask “what can and cannot be recycled and how do I sort it all out?” The answer depends on whether you are a part of a single stream or multi stream recycling program.
Single Stream Programs And The Right Recycling Containers
If all of your recyclables go into a single receptacle, then you are part of a single stream program. All of the sorting is done at a processing facility so residents and businesses do not have to separate their recycling prior to pick up. This type of program is by far the most simple and convenient in which to participate. They are also attractive for the city that implements them. Government funding and incentives for recycling programs are based on the amount of material that is recycled overall. So by making it easy to participate, everyone in a community can help clean up their city and earn money to spend on public amenities.
Waste Wise has a number of different recycling bins for homeowners and businesses in this type of system. The biggest concern is to provide adequate space for all recyclables. Recycling containers have to be large enough to hold all the recyclable trash that is generated between each pick up. Utility carts with attached wheels are an excellent solution since they are also easy to transport even if they are full.
Recycling Bins For Multi Stream Programs
If you are sorting recycled trash and separating by material, than you are part of a multi stream program. Multi stream recycling does take a little extra effort, but utilizing the right set of recycling bins makes the task much easier. Waste Wise has a great line of recycling containers with this type of program in mind.
Convenience is king when it comes to sorting and separating. With this in mind, Waste Wise offers recycling containers designed to fit any need. For example, we have receptacles that can clip together, stack, or nest. We also offer riders that can be attached to regular garbage cans to collect different materials all at once. All of our offerings come in many different shapes and sizes to fit any home of office space both indoors and outdoors.
What Recycling Containers To Use At Home And In The Office
One of our best products for recycling in the office is recycling containers with special lids and openings designed to take specific materials. For example, having openings in the shape of plastic bottles or aluminum cans, making it very easy to immediately distinguish what garbage goes into what bin. These large capacity, multi compartment recycling containers are an effective all in one solution.
For homeowners, a set of stacking or nesting recycling containers works exceptionally well. They save space and can fit in the garage, under a car port, right outside the back door, or in nearly any space available. Other homeowners choose to purchase recycling bins as riders that they can attached to their regular trash cans to keep all of their garbage in one spot.
No matter which program our customers happen to be in, Waste Wise prides itself on providing the best recycling bins for every situation.
