Colorado Springs waste management company urges local businesses to recycle

Nov. 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Colorado Springs, Colo. – The green movement has been progressing across the nation for several years, and many Americans have become accustomed to recycling at home. However, one Colorado Springs waste management company believes more businesses should be environmentally conscious.

Waste Connections of Colorado Springs urges local businesses to implement sustainable operating solutions, from using LED light bulbs to recycling paper, plastics, and cardboard in the workplace.

“Businesses can go through an unbelievable amount of paper and other products that can be recycled,” said Ralph Grillo, general manager of the garbage and recycling collection company. “Many businesses have made recycling a priority, but we want to encourage every business owner to do their part and make small changes that can add up.”

Waste Connections offers commercial recycling services for businesses in Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas, with flexible pickup schedules to accommodate the volume needs of individual customers. Items that can be accepted for commercial recycling include:

•   Office paper, junk mail, greeting cards, sticky notes
•   Newspapers and magazines
•   Phone books
•   Corrugated cardboard
•   Aluminum and tin cans
•   Plastic milk jugs, pop and water bottles, and other plastics numbered 1-7

Waste Connections of Colorado Springs also offers residential and construction recycling services, and was the first company in Colorado to partner with RecycleBank, a national program that offers homeowners rewards for recycling. Customers receive points for each pound of recyclable materials collected, which can be redeemed for gift cards and products from partners like Bed Bath & Beyond, Amazon, Best Buy, Sam’s Club, and more.
 
“We want to make it easy for our customers to make smart choices about recycling, both at work and at home,” Grillo said. “Recycling should be a simple process that makes a big difference in our local community.”
