Items We Recycle

What we Provide

We will provide you with a 34 or 90 gallon recycle bin for storing your recyclables.  You can purchase your own bins  if you prefer a different style of container, however any container smaller than 34 gallons will be billed at the 34 gallon rate.


Cost

Prices start at $12.50 and increase depending on the size container and type of material picked up.  Email us and we can give you a close estimate of what a recycling program will cost you.


Whole Building Services

If you manage an office building or office building complex, and need recycling service for your tenants, we offer weekly service starting a $100 per month for 6-90 gallon containers.  The 90 gallon carts are wheeled, so it is very easy for cleaning crews to empty tenants recyclables into them and leave the carts in one central location for collection by us.  We also provide volume reporting to the City of Austin if you meet the requirements for their mandatory recycling ordinance. Email us to arrange a site visit to determine your needs and provide you with a quote for our services.

Confidential Document Destruction Services

We offer off-site shredding services for your confidential documents.  We will provide your office with a 45 or 90 gallon locking container to store your confidential documents until they are ready to be picked up. We can also do large cleanouts of stored files in boxes if you are purging old files. Your paper will be transported to our secured warehouse in an enclosed box truck. Your papers will then be run through an industrial paper shredder, and then the paper is baled into 1100-1200 pound bales and shipped to a repulping facility. 

You will be provided with a notarized Certificate of Shredding for your records, verifying your confidential documents have been kept secure during the whole process.
