Beyond the Bin, December 2014
 

This month we explain how your recycling program is a hidden source of revenue and that through cost avoidance and rebates you are able to pay back your equipment investment.

Also we look at how the CleanRiver 3C process was developed to get your program diverting more waste which helps the environment and your ROI.
Achieving Recycling Program ROI

The biggest barrier for implementing an effective recycling program is often the capital investment required. In reality however, effective recycling programs can generate revenue for an organization and payback the initial investment in as little as 2 years.

Divert More Waste from Landfill with the CleanRiver 3C Process.

CleanRiver created the 3C process to empower organizations to increase the amount of waste they divert from landfill. Learn why the CleanRiver 3C process can impact your program.
