Recycling Services
Suburban Carting has the experience and know how to set your business up with recycling services. Recycling is the process of transforming reusable materials into other materials so they do not end up in landfills. Recycling helps conserve landfill space, natural resources, reduces energy usage and prevents pollution. Suburban Carting has been providing recycling services for our customers since long before it was required by the Westchester County Source Separation Law. This law states that all businesses and institutions in Westchester County must separate their trash, commingled cans, glass and plastics and paper and cardboard.
The following materials must be separated from your garbage and must be picked up separately by your trash hauler.
Commingled
- Glass: clear, green and amber colored jars and bottles which are used to store food and beverages
- Metal containers: for food and beverages
- Plastic containers: with recycling codes 1 and 6
Paper and Cardboard
- Newspapers and glossy inserts
- Office paper (copy, fax)
- Junk Mail (catalogs, brochures, envelopes)
- Cardboard shipping boxes
- Other cardboard boxes (tissue, cereal)
Suburban Carting will create a plan that works for your business and provide you containers and the materials you need to educate your employees as to what is recyclable and the procedures to do so. Suburban Carting has the experience and knowledge of the Source Separation Law to assure that you are in compliance with the law and avoid fines.
