ecycler Accepts the Challenge

Sept. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Lake Forest, IL -- ecycler announced today that they are one of the ten finalist to compete in the Fairfield Inn & Suites Small Business Road to Success Challenge. These ten small business finalists will receive 15 free nights at Fairfield Inn & Suites to be used from September 13 through December 7 to travel around the country for the sole purpose of growing their business.

Ecycler will share its journey with the public by blogging, tweeting and posting photos on Flickr. After three months of traveling the country and working through a set of business challenges, one small business will be awarded a grand prize of $20,000 by the judging panel.

Timothy Laurent, co-founder of ecycler exclaims, “This is a fantastic opportunity for ecycler!” Laurent goes on to say, “This bolsters ecycler’s ability to focus on growing its user base of collectors and discarders.”

As a “green” company, ecycler strives to minimize travel as much as possible, but sometimes it is inevitable (and necessary).

Ecycler’s goal is basic: Acquire additional http://ecycler.com/ website users, both collectors and discarders. It will be a bifurcated approach:

1)   Collectors - add 50 qualified individuals, groups or businesses

2)   Discarders - add 1000 qualified homes, businesses or institutions

Ecycler will continue to ratchet-up its successes to gain these new site users.

Ecycler.com creates a new way to recycle by connecting people discarding cans, bottles, newspapers and other recyclables with those wishing to collect them.

Ecycler provides an alternative to the many U.S. households, institutes and businesses that are not offered curb-side recycling. It’s also an option for people who do have curb-side recycling but who want to have their recyclables picked up when and where they desire.
