COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Partners to the communities we serve, we continually pursue new solutions to environmental
challenges. We help meet our municipalities’ waste diversion goals by ofering programs such as
automated collection programs, single-stream recycling, food and yard waste collection, and more.
We implement publication education programs that consistently increase recycling participation
amongst our residential and commercial customers, and invest signiicantly in our compressed
natural gas (CNG) leets to reduce our carbon footprint. And our state-of-the art technologies
improve operational eiciencies and maintain industry-leading safety records.
Because we live and work in the communities we service, our local managers are empowered to
support their community-partners in ways that best address each of those dynamic partnerships.
Whether we’re helping our commercial customers embrace recycling, helping the world’s largest
Ronald McDonald House meet LEED standards, donating equipment and inancial aid to emergency
service organizations, or just rolling up our sleeves and participating in community-wide clean-up
days, giving back to the communities is all part of our progressive nature.
