Recycling More than 75 Percent of Our Dumpster Pickup Materials
As an active dumpster rental business, we literally accumulate tons of items on a daily basis. Instead of unloading these masses into a landfill where it would take years to break down – if at all – we have chosen to recycle as much as we can. Our recycling facility in Chicago is where we sort and recycle the materials we pick up in our dumpsters. We are proud to say that more than 75 percent of that is recycled, and we have helped save loads of resources in the process.
Every ton of recycled paper saves:
- 17 trees
- 4100 kilowatts of energy
- 7000 gallons of water
- 3 cubic yards of landfill space
- 84 gallons of oil
- 60 pounds of air pollution
Every ton of recycled plastic saves:
- 577 kilowatts of energy
- 7 cubic yards of landfill space
- 1000 gallons of oil
- 30 pounds of air pollution
Every ton of recycled glass saves:
