ecycler Named Free Enterprise Honoree

March 8, 2011 - PRLog -- The U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced ecycler as one of 25 Free Enterprise Honorees, recognizing its critical role in job creation and economic growth.

The Awards Program is designed to commend businesses across the nation for their strong business practices and contributions to the economy.

As quoted from the award letter from the US Chamber of Commerce, "We are proud to recognize your business’ success story and are impressed with your company’s accomplishments."

Craig Robertson, co-founder of ecycler was heard saying, “This is a true honor!”

Ecycler was founded on the basis of three goals: 1) improving the environment, 2) enhancing the social value of recycling and 3) supporting local communities. As such, the ecycler website (http://ecycler.com/) matches people, groups or businesses giving away recyclable materials with local entrepreneurs interested in picking-up those items. In a recent transaction, for example, ten bags of aluminum cans—totaling about 2000 cans—was posted on ecycler’s Recycling Exchange. It did not take long for these cans to be claimed by a collector local to that community.

Award criteria were based on staff training and motivation, community involvement, customer service and business strategies & goals.
