One™ Recycling may provide a more sustainable and cost-effective option.
Recycling...It Works Because of You! All-in-One™ recycling requires businesses to manage employees and tenants to ensure waste and recyclable materials are sorted correctly into separate bins(s). Materials accepted in the All-in-One™ Recycling program include: clean dry paper, junk mail, newspaper, magazines, phone books, catalogs, cardboard boxes, plastic and glass bottles, jars, metal and aluminum cans, metal containers and empty aerosol cans. Recyclable materials are collected in a bin designated for recyclable materials only. A recycling truck collects recyclable materials separately from waste and delivers it to Republic’s Recycling Complex where it is sorted with single stream materials. While this method generally produces cleaner materials and higher diversion, it is not always practical for all businesses that may lack the space and resources to sort waste and recyclables on site. Contamination may result in higher disposal costs. To learn more about Republic’s All-in-One™ recycling program call (909) 370-3377 where a friendly customer service representative will be happy to provide best practices and additional information on how your business and/or apartment complex can adopt the All-in-One™ Recycling program. For more information about mandatory commercial recycling legislation visit the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) at www.calrecycle.ca.gov.
