Recycling & Sustainability

What happens to my waste after pickup?

All collected materials are transported to our ISO‑certified facility. Recyclables are sorted, cleaned, and processed into raw materials for manufacturing. Organic waste becomes compost. Residual non‑recyclable waste is treated using the most sustainable disposal methods available, with a constant goal of minimizing landfill use.

Do you offer composting services?

Yes! Our organic composting add‑on is available for $18/month. We provide a separate bin for food scraps and yard waste, which is processed into nutrient‑rich compost. It's available for both residential and commercial clients.

How do I recycle electronics (e‑waste)?

Schedule an e‑waste pickup through our Contact page or by calling us. We accept computers, phones, TVs, small appliances, and other electronic devices. All data‑bearing devices undergo certified data destruction. Pricing starts at $45 for a one‑time collection.

Can I get an environmental impact report?

Absolutely. Commercial plans include quarterly sustainability reports detailing your waste diversion, carbon savings, and recycling metrics. Residential customers receive an annual impact summary. You can also access real‑time tracking through our online dashboard (available with select plans).
