It's up to you to make a difference.

  • Recycling is mandated by law. Regulations vary from state to state. For regulations in Rhode Island see General Law Chapter 37-15 Litter Control and Recycling.
  • U.S. residences, businesses and institutions produce more than 245 million tons of garbage a year—4.5 pounds of trash per person, per day!
  • Recycling currently diverts 79 million tons of material away from disposal per year.
  • Recycling helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions effecting global climate. Ten years ago, it was measured that recycling of solid material prevented the release of 33 million tons of carbon into the air—roughly the amount emitted annually by 25 million cars.
  • The recycling industry creates jobs—9 to 1 over disposal—which adds to regional economies.
  • The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (amended in 1984) protects human health and the environment. The RCRA also calls for conservation of energy, natural resources, reduction of waste generated and environmentally sound practices.

And CleanScape, Inc. We can show you how.

CleanScape, Inc. goes further than other companies in designing and setting up your recycling program. Most of our competitors also collect trash, so they can actually make more money if your recycling program fails, or is poorly maintained. We only recycle, so we put in the effort needed upfront and along the way to ensure success. This effort includes working with housekeeping and other appropriate staff on the physical set-up of your office/facility, producing memos for your use in announcing the program, providing educational materials to your employees and giving presentations/question and answer opportunities to small groups, among other things. We have done some pretty creative things to get programs started or reinvigorated, and are happy to work with you to customize our set-up materials and activities to your situation.
