Is Incident Recycling Cost-Effective


Is Incident Recycling Cost Effective?

  • Yes. Diverting trash by recycling helps reduce the amount of trash that must be hauled to landfills.  By reducing the number of hauls required for dumpster service on an incident, we estimate we will save between $11,200 and $22,400 per week (on an incident with 4 dumpsters being serviced daily, as an example).
