Organics recycling programs/food waste

Our goal is to divert as much as possible from the landfill, that's why our recycling programs include organics or food waste recycling. We have successfully implemented these programs with large organizations such as Lewis & Clark College and Multnomah County.

  • We'll help your business/organization set up an organics waste/food waste program
  • Diverting food waste can reduce disposal costs
  • We offer a full range of organics services – small roll cart to 2 yard container
  • We'll educate your staff on how to implement and manage a food waste program

E-recycling

When you have retired televisions, out-of-date computers and cell phones you're no longer using, you don't want to throw them away! We view e-recycling as a vital next step in reducing waste in the landfill while reducing overall impact on the environment.

We'll pick up your electronics and take them to certified sites that will recycle or reclaim parts and keep them out of the landfill. Many items three years or newer can have a second life with a new owner!
