Rent Recycling Bins for your festival or large event in Miami or Broward

• Recycling is required for many special events permits
• You can promote that you have an effective recycling program to the community
• Customers expect it, and are disappointed when you don’t
• Recycled material keeps manufacturing costs low, which keeps your your product costs lower.
• When you recycle, you can order a smaller landfill dumpster, so recycling doesn’t really cost extra
• Bins can be monitored from a distance and comply with federal and state mandates to “See Something, Say Something.”
• Clear bins permit active, on-site monitoring of the contents of transparent bins by security personnel
• Clear bins use standard 40”x45” bags (45 gal) with a patented bag lock to hold bags securely to the frame
• Renting Recycle Bins supports a Beach Cleanup non-profit (great for marketing.!.)

Our Recycle Bins

• Reusable containers eliminate landfill waste.
• Well designed lid is conducive to people putting only cans and bottles in bin. 
• Clear bag shows the contents, which makes it easier for people to see what is supposed to go in the bins.
• Sturdy steel frame can be zip tied to fences if very windy.

Cardboard Boxes

• Boxes are Single-Use and Disposable
• Landfill and Recycling Boxes look virtually identical. You will end up with trash in the recycling, and recyclables in the trash.
• Costs $15 per box + shipping (which is only slightly less than our reusable bins), and the additional sorting adds to labor costs.
• Cardboard boxes are made from trees, which adds to deforestation

• People will not differentiate between landfill and recycling containers.
• No clear indicator on what goes in the bins. 

• BINS: These bins are made available by donation which supports our on-going waste reduction and diversion efforts. Donations are completely optional. (As a reference, the cardboard box recycle bins that don’t actually work usually cost about $15 each).
• BAGS: You can use your own clear bags, but the ones we provide say ‘Recycling’ on them. If you want our bags, they are $50 for a roll of 100.
• DELIVERY: You can pick up for free, but we do offer optional Delivery Service for a small fee. Delivery fees depend on how many units are rented and distance traveled.

Before the Event

• Contract with your Landfill and Recycling waste hauler and verify what materials they accept for recycling (all will accept Plastic Bottles and Aluminum Cans, and most will accept cardboard. Verify they will actually take it to the recycling sorting facility!
• Ask your recycling contractor if there are any special guidelines or rules to follow (ie, empty the contents out of the plastic bags into the recycling dumpsters since plastic bags jam up the sorting machines)
• Purchase black bags for landfill, and clear bags for recycling so your staff can easily differentiate.
• Discuss the sanitation plan with your Janitorial company. Divide trash collection and pickup into Landfill and Recycling teams. Make sure they train their staff working the event.

During the Event

• Marry the recycling bins directly next to landfill bins. If the bins are separated, there will be contamination.
• Tape an example aluminum can or bottle onto the bin as a visual example.
• If your event is at night, make sure the waste collection is lit up and visible.
• Focus recycling placement in areas where you sell food and beverage. You don’t need recycling in areas where there will be no recyclables.
• Split waste collection and litter pickup staff into separate trash and recycling teams, and instruct them what they are to pick up.
• Have landfill trash collectors remove any easy to reach recyclables from the trash bins and put them in the recycle bins.
• Have recycling collectors remove any trash from the recycle bins.  
• Have a supervisor check on recycling collection. Staff will usually need a reminder.

After the Event

• Ask your recycling vendor for a ‘tipping’ receipt so you can confirm that the material was actually sent to the recycling facility.
• Document the number of pounds of recyclables collected, and proudly promote your success.
