Recycling bins for home, the office, or for schools are some of our most popular products. If your home or office does not yet recycle, you may wonder why it is worth the effort to set up a whole new system for trash. In reality, setting up a system with plastic containers for recycling is easy, however, and there are a number of benefits to recycling. Here are just a few:

• When you recycle, you are helping to conserve resources. We live in an environment which is already overtaxed. Our forests and other natural lands are rapidly disappearing, and we do not have an infinite amount of resources at our disposal. The paper you recycle is repurposed, as are the cans and bottles that you recycle. If you put them in the trash, they simply go to a landfill and take up space. This not only pollutes the environment (landfills slowly release all kinds of toxins into the environment), but also drives up production costs. Recycling helps to keep costs low, so you are indirectly reducing the cost of running business if your office helps out by recycling.

• Reduce water and air pollution. It is estimated that air pollution could be curbed by almost 75% if everyone recycled, and water pollution could drop by more than a third. Manufacturing also requires less water when recycled resources are used. For example, when paper is recycled, it saves up to 60% of the water needed to process the new paper.

• Do the right thing. Recycling not only reduces pollution and curbs costs, but can also help you to feel better about the life that you lead. As human beings, we desire to be productive, and to contribute to our worlds. Nobody likes to think about being a parasite. When you recycle, you are making the choice to be kind to the world that supports you. This can help you to feel good about yourself. You can also instill good habits in others by recycling in the home and the office. Set a good example, and family members and co-workers will also strive to protect the environment. You can make a difference for the world. It all happens one home or office at a time.

We carry a number of different recycling containers for office or home use. The blue plastic bins with the recycling logo are immediately recognizable and stand out alongside trash bins. This helps office and school employees to immediately locate and use the bins. Along with trash bins which are ideal for indoor environments, we also carry recycling plastic cube trucks on wheels that are ideal for outdoor or industrial applications.

Need an all-in-one solution for easily recycling different types of materials? We even have a centralized collection center which comes with clear labels for different types of waste: trash, white paper, glass, cans and plastic, and organic waste. This solution is excellent because it requires minimal setup and no explanation. Employees can immediately see where to dispose of different types of items.
