What is Commercial Single Stream Recycling?

A system in which most paper fibers, plastics, and some metals are collected and mixed together in a recycling container, rather than sorted into separate commodities by the business, and handled separately throughout the collection process.

 

How does the Program work?

1. Designated materials are gathered at individual sites throughout your place of business.

2. Your janitorial staff or “green team” gather materials, in easily transported containers, to the proper compactor location.

3. Materials are kept in a recycling container until it is ready for switch out.

4. You call City Carton Recycling to request a switch out.

5. Within three business days, we complete the switch out.
