Business Recycling
Committed to Helping Your Bottom Line
Businesses account for 40 percent of the waste going to Pierce County's landfill. Our 2010 waste audit revealed almost 15 percent of this business trash can easily be recycled in commingled recycling containers.

Since recycling service is less expensive than garbage service, recycling at work will save your business money.
